Title: plug and play
Post by: B.A. on March 09, 2008, 11:04:44 AM
O.K. I'm a rookie I'll admit it, my question is, is there a plug and play receiver on the market right now that i can put in a K 27 and run the locomotive ? I have an Aristo TE that plugs right in but I am not going to put any power to it until I can find out it will work. Please Help.Thanks

When you just plug in the Aristo receiver the motor functions work but the lights do not.
Wired my receiver into the dummy board but had to cut 2 lands and run 2 jumpers on the dummy to get the lights to work directionally.
Has been working perfectly.

Hi Bud.
Given that the Bachmann socket pcb is the "talked about" NMRA suggestion and is based on the existing AristoCraft version, can you offer us any insight as to why the Crest 75 Mhz onboard receiver is not simply a Plug'n'Play installation?
