PA-1 B unit upgrade

[Joe Satnik]

Dear Mike,

I usually upload to a free photo hosting website like photobucket and then copy the photo's link to this board, highlight it,

then click on the picture frame (2nd icon in second row of the reply window), which surrounds it with the necessary and correct img tags.

Clicking on "Preview" should then show you the pic (before posting).

Hope this helps.  

Sincerely,

Joe Satnik

Edit: changed "post" to "copy"

Joe,

Here is a picture of the circuit board that has 2 plugs that go to 2 lights, possibly LED's.

Dear Mike,

Nice picture.  In focus, well lit, highly detailed.  Thanks.

It is most likely "Mars light headlights" driver circuitry.

The real ones were electric motor driven and had a wobbling/flashing effect. 

Not sure how WBB emulates it, might just be a flasher circuit (no real motion).

Hope this helps.

While we are on the subject.

I recently purchased 2  NW-2 switcher engines different rail lines, My son put both

on the same track and one ran faster than the other.

Since it seems fun to have a double hook up as seen in some photos, does WBB

make non-powered units? Just wondering.

WBB does not seem to offer the NW-2 in a non powered version.

I have several Williams GP7/9s that all run at so close to the same speed that it is not discernable.
Check to see if the slower one has been changed to series wiring from the original parrallel wiring.
This is discussed on this forum somewhere.
