Hi All,
Hoping someone either has a Lionel Made K-Line NYC K28701H Diesel Unit or has some service documentation to help me out fixing this unit. Took this out of the box which looks brand new and could certainly pass for brand new unit, Tried it conventional and it ran forward, with whistle blowing with a great tone. I switch it over to command control and the lights and exhaust fans work but that was it. So I opened the unit up to try and find the culprit. Low and behold I see this red wire end hanging in mid air. Since it didn't look like an antenna, and the end had some solder on it, I did a little happy dance inside thinking I would easily see where it was supposed to be soldered. NO SUCH LUCK Blah! At any rate I search for some documentation online and I came up empty. I found a lot of information out, like Lionel actually made this for K-Line (I know I have been under a model railroading rock for 40 years) How ever I still haven't had any luck in service info. I have included photos of the wire and where the other end is attached, If anyone could sneak a peek into their unit, and finds where the other end goes, that would be fantastic. Or if anyone has schematic or knows where this wire should be attached that would be great! ANY HELP is more than appreciated.
Thanks in Advance to all.
John
ps looking through a magnifying glass it appears the end was a cold solder joint. Important to use good soldering techniques.
