I bought a kato big boy with the tsunami 2 and they seem to have cheaped out on the backup light. Would this be as simple as connecting the LED to the yellow wires for the rear light? Installation looks a bit of a mess on the dcc sound version. The terminal connections on the pins look like they have wires exposed. I guess this may make it easier to replace the decoder since all the connections on the engine side are 50/59 done right lol
I had a decoder installed on a Kato Big boy, and now the independent engines lost part of their initial mobility. Unfortunately the locomotive can no longer take 11 inch radius turns. Does anyone know how this could be remedied? Thank you.
no idea as I didn't do the install, but I'm guessing on the 11" radius issue is due to not enough slack with the wiring connecting the motors to the frame not allowing the truckst to properly articulate or there isn't enough slack with wiring between the loco and tender.
Good work!!
