    My HOn30 Mimitrains 0-4-0 had a decoder installed several years ago. I was checking to see why the great were binding up. May have had the screws been to tight . Anyway I took the shell off and now I have two wires I don’t know where they go. Instructions on decoder say they goto the power pickup. Anyone know where that is picaresque on this little guy?

    Re: Binding up issues. Check the gears, to be certain they are intact. They tend to split.

    from what i can tell it looks like the motor connections is here in the pics and that looks like where they go as defined by the red and blue lines.
    im not 100 % sure but it looks like it. need a bigger pic to tell for sure....
    also it looks corroded in that area too

    It’s not corroded, that’s kapton tape over the light board.

    I think it might be the frame I need to solder the two wires to. The frame is metal.
