Thanks for the replies!
I would be very interested in a wiring diagram. Please send it to tsbikes@gwtc.net

Thanks again,

I would like to wire my 2 truck shay for power using an 18 volt battery. I would also like to be able to switch it to track power with a dpdt switch. So far all my efforts have produced nothing but "magic smoke". Any suggestions?

I think it is the older non DCC model. My plan is to run with a trailing car using Train Engineer and 18volt tool batteries. I have Bachmann Mallet and an Aristo Pacific set up this way.

I have a Pardee & Curtin Climax with Phoenix sound installed. I would like to wire it so it can be battery powered (with a trailing car) or switched back to track power. Is there a wiring diagram available. I would appreciate any other informtion.

Thanks,
Jim Grimes
