Decoder replacement for 2-6-6-2

[tmiller]

John,

Tried the adapter upside down. Still dead in the water. I am going to purchase a Soundtraxx decoder and then should be up and running.

On another issue, do you know where I might get an exploded view of this engine?

Somehow my friend had the front truck off the engine, and lost the spring underneath. He replaced the spring with what he thought was the right size. Turns out it is not stiff enough to keep the truck tight. All it takes is a slight turn of the engine and the front truck derails. So I need an original spring.

Any ideas?

Thanks for all the advice on the decoder issue.

Thanks John. Had to hunt around but found the drawing and others. Learn something new everyday. I did find the part, so will get it ordered.

Thanks for all your help!!!

There isn't a spring under the lead truck on the 2 that
I have. The weight of the truck keeps it on the track. I haven't had any derailment issues. Try removing the spring and see how it works or add a little more weight to the truck. By the way it was Rich that sent the last help.  -  john
