Well, I got the red n tacky on the gears but, unfortunately, I ripped off 3 little wires (black purple and white) that were soldered onto a plate with a switch in the back of the engine. These 3 wires at the other end of them are still connected to the circuit board (thank God!).
Below are photos of what I'm talking about.
In the bottom photo, the engine is on its side, the white and purple wires were and are taped together, and the black wire is separate.
The middle photo shows the outside of the back plate with the switch on top. Since I don't have the owners Manual, I'm not sure what that switch is for, but my guess is it is for the smoke, the horn and/or bell. It's not for the Railsounds because that switch is under the tender.
The top photo shows the inside of the back plate where the 3 wires need to be re-soldered to the connections on the top.
I desperately need some expert advice as to where each of the 3 wires need to be soldered.
