HO / KA 4 install in SPECTRUM 4-6-0
October 23, 2019, 02:05:32 PM
I installed a new TSC KA 4 in my 4-6-0 as per instructions  and it works great...my problem is...I don't have a headlight now....I saw a video somewhere that I should ( I think) clip one lead on the yellow horse shoe looking resistor (?)(I'm not a electronics expert) on the BACHMAN BOARD. Did I remember right???? Thanks in advance....BREEZY8
