New York Cross Harbor RR Alcos

[Schraddel]

Hello,
i can't agree to the nightmare sceneries.


P2K ALCO S-1





The only hassle that can occur with this type of motor are not insulated brush terminals. The non-insulation is caused by the brass washer which shorts one of the brush terminal to the motor frame.
- screw off the non insulated terminal with brush holder
- use a plastic washer or made one yourself as shown in the photo, a piece of 0,5mm styrene sheet or similar will work






- place insulated washer as shown
- reinstall brush holder
- check the insulation by rating

This motors were out of old Atlas ALCO S-2's which were not DCC ready.

Hope this helps to demystify something.
