The Hobo Camp Fire Is going well #VI.. Stop In!!!

[Running Bear]

Well I made the dusty interior of the //e as dust free as I could using a small brush I normally use to clean my beard trimmer and a small Shop-Vac with a mini dust brush.



I then turned my attention to one of my re-powered Varney F3's. It has a blue box Athearn F7 chassis and is therefore a fairly easy install. Remove the motor, remove the contact tabs from the bottom of it then solder on the gray wire from the DCC harness. File the solder join flat, cover with a piece of electrical tape. Apply a strip of tape to the contact patch in the bottom of the motor well. Reinstall the motor. Solder orange wire to the top tab of the motor, red wire to contact arm of front truck, black wire to headlight clip, jumper wire to front and rear trucks. Organize the wires so they're not an unholy mess, just an organized mess.The 9-pin plug is over the rear flywheel awaiting a decoder. The decoder and a light or LED will have to wait until I can get such things, probably the end of the month.
