Hi there:
I’m getting super nowhere fast. Let me try this…Your thoughts on making the 2-8-0 run on DC without the shorting plug.
I guess like bypassing the AC board that comes installed and running the wires from the can motor to the tender pickups. Probably would lose the headlight. Maybe the AC board should come out before wiring the motor to the trucks?
Does the 2-8-0 AC have a smoke unit I should be concerned about?
