I just purchased a GE 70 diesel dc and want to add a dcc decoder but looking inside the loco there are only 4 wires 2 from the motor 2 from the rear trucks could someone help me with this? I have found pics of another GE 70 and the one I purchased has 2 motors 1 front 1 back which makes this even more confusing I have installed decoders in other models of bach trains but I think this one will take the cake!!!! If anyone has any advice please let me know..........
Advice, sell what you have and purchase the one motor model. What you have is known for motor problems.
You are right on there Hunt. went through 2 of the 2 motors type.
I wish I would have known this was the dual motor type I would have left it on ebay!! Probably won't even get my money back off of it......Can't find any info on this at all, what item # is the ones with the single motor(can motor) if anyone knows?
That is why the legwork of research comes first. ;)
I know right!!! Next time will know...Live & Learn
Exactamundo! Even a lost cost lesson can turn out to be invaluable!
