I have successfully installed the Air Wire System into a Bachmann K-27......works great. I have heard so many good things about the Aristo-craft Revolution, I am thinking for trying an install of the revolution into a Bachmann K-27. Along with Phoenix Sound System
Has anyone done this yet to a K-27?
If so what, did you do to install it?
Anything extra needed to install this system?
Any tips on installation?
Any wiring Diagrams you would care to share?
Any and all feed back would be great fully received
Thanks in advance for all responds.

I've done it. I had some weirdness with how the board was controlling the headlights, but that may have been my Revolution board. I ended up nuking the on-board socket and wiring the Revolution direct to the wires coming from the locomotive. Personally, I think it made for a better installation, because I was able to hook the marker lights up to the auxilliary outputs of the Revolution. (I know, Aristo says you can't control lights from the auxiliary outputs. So long as they're LEDs and draw very little current, you're okay. Hook the positive lead from the markers to the common headlight tap, and the negative to the auxiliary input wires. I also wired my headlight that way, so I can turn it on and off at will.)
