Reply to "Atlas O 0-6-0 Steam Switcher Questions - and Learning"

Zachariah - assuming your Atlas O 0-6-0 is made the same as mine, it does come with a TAS tach board mounted on the motor to generate the chuff signal. I didn't get a picture of this original mounted on the motor, but in the 7th message from the top of this thread you can see the plactic band clamped around the motor that the original TAS tach board was mounted in.

One thing I did wonder about later on was whether or not the original TAS tach board could have been reused in conjunction with the new super chuffer?

As for the shorting issue with the front pickup I haven't noticed that as a problem on mine yet... The tape would be a good idea to try to address that - or maybe the alignment of the roller is just a little askew? I'd have to flip mine over again to remember exactly what the mounting looks like...
