I want to remove the Steel Climax cab so I can do some interior detailing.

I saw the 2 screws on bottom and have removed them. Then there are various pipes going through front of cab.  I can easily remove some of the pipes from front of cab but others are not that easy. The ones that I couldn't remove appear to be preventing cab from lifting up. Is there any trick to this?

Thanks,

I'm using the standard Bachmann PCB board. No soundcard but I will add one eventually. I'm wondering if the rear light circuit on the Bachmann PCB only works if a soundcard is added? Can you take a picture of your soundcard installation? Lets move to RRL forum as I think posting a picture is easier there or I can send you my email addr and you can send it directly.

Thanks,
Ed

Bob,

I have a post on the RRL forum under ON30. Same topic same id. We can  continue there (more eyes). But we have different PCBs. I have standard (i.e. non sound) Bachmann PCB.

Yes, LED1 for front light would make more sense. But, LED2 is used on the Shay.

I measured voltage across the two PCB pads for LED1 and there was no voltage, neither + or -

A picture of top and bottom of the Climax PCB would be much appreciated. I have the feeling that the Climax PCB was used. But  a green shade guy (aka bean counter)  figured that since there was no rear light offered on Shay then a few cents could be saved.

Has anyone installed a back-up light in one of the newer  Bachmann Shays? At rear of PCB there is a LED 1 label. I put Shay in reverse and measured voltage at the two unused solder pads by the LED 1 label but there was no voltage!? Some circuitry appears to be missing.

Thanks,
Ed

Cookie,

You mentioned that you fabricated and installed Wiper Contacts similar to Geren Mortensen's. Do you have a drawing or a picture of the contacts? and info on how you installed them?

Thanks,
Ed
