Some time ago someone had a very nifty idea to replace the fragile LL switcher power pickup brass strips with a single strip, folded double, that ran the length of the body shell. Can anybody point me to that posting? You know what they say, with old age, memory is the second thing to go. (The first? Sorry, can't remember ) Also, is there a method on TrainBoard to flag posts for future reference, so when you go through the archive, those flagged posts stand out? Thanks William
William,I can't help you but I sure am interested in what your looking for as I have one of the little fellas that has lost two of the contacts
The thread you seek sounds vaguely familiar. You might try using the Trainboard Search. At the top of this page, under "Reply", you'll see it. Click on "Search." Boxcab E50
I posted that reply Jan 14 2003, but the topic no longer exists. However, thhe procedure I followed is still on the web: LL SW-1200 Decoder Install and Wiper Mod
I posted it in N Scale, and did a search for it with "by member #37", and the post (Advice Please) came up on the search for "electrical" and another search for "contacts". When I tried to view that post I got a "You have requested a topic that does not exist! " error. Today I tried the search and it no longer comes up when I search "contacts", so I suspect some kind of data corruption on the server.
Robert, You are the stud! What can I say? Just about every question I have, you just come through!!! Thanks a ton! William
