Wheels to Trucks
I had some PA1 performance issues that I
tracked down to being electrical continuity issues through its
electrical pick up mechanism, so I developed a method to enhance
its pickups by adding EZ10 wheel wiper contacts from Richmond
Controls. More to come...

Truck Wipers:
The wipers will be bent such that they press
inwards on the outsides of the wheel. The clips that hold the
truck side frames on will also hold the wipers in place. |

Has minimal pickup points.
After gaining better pickup from the wheels to the
trucks, there still exists a bottle neck from the truck halves to the
frame halves. There are only 2 small points that make contact that
are not at all flexible. I think the safest bet is to solder a wider
directly from the truck halves to either the frame halves or directly to
the decoder. More to Come...

Initial Drilling:
Drilling will be required to run the wire and allow
it to still be flexible when the truck turns, but not interfere with
any other moving parts . |
