Reply to "Wiring Schematic for Lionel #38053 L2a Mohawk..."

John, We had this discussion long ago.  I rarely see it either, but there are some installations that do use it.  I do not fully remember what Jon Z said about it, but probably some method of the ODY board feeding info to the sound system.

D&H For some installations I guess Lionel did not feel that the R2LC reg was up to snuff for the 5V loads and they supplied a separate regulator to power the DCDS.  I have seen engines with it.  It is ok for it to power the CCM, but not connect any of it to the 10 pin connector.  Basically it takes track power in and makes 5VDC.  Sometimes driving other lights too.  If they got DC ground from the original 10 pin for ODY, vice a chassis point, that may have caused issues with your CCM if left in the 10 pin.  G
