Product quality 104.

I set set my new rail truck (82396) out on the track for it's second run and I was amazed at the realistic cloud of smoke that emanated from the truck as I applied power.  The truck continued to run and the smoke dissapated. After a few turns around the layout I parked that truck and tried the RGS truck.  OOOps,  Bummer,     no smoke.  That sort gave me clue. The first truck had a problem.  Yup.  Something shorted,  red wire from RR wheel to board, and yellow to RF melted insulation.  Woderbar, bare wire city.

Then I looked at the PC board in the Back of the truck.  Gee Wizzz.  Got enough diodes, resistors, transistors and capasitors to run an energy plant.
The truck might need at most 3 resitors, 1 capacitor, for the lights.

What the heck are all these parts in there for.  No wiring diagram to show how they are used,   or not.  DCC??? for what??    DC or RC  I believe is major focus in 1:20.  Or are we using all that stuff when the switch is set to NMRA.

Bmann,  Can I get a schematic??  Or should I just toss the board and rewire??

Ok:  We finally have some cars that were promised long ago in a faraway realm, they are nice, good detail, good coupler, ?? paint on FCC Box, little pricey.
But ___ ARE WE TO GET ONLY ONE ROAD NUMBER ??
AMS WAS SMART ENOUGH --  they provide lots of numbers on their offering.
I would like more than one, but I would like different numbers on them.
I know better to suggest things to BMANN Inc.  But??
