Re: [soundtraxx] Proto 2000 0-8-0 Electrical Pick-Ups Question

Bob,

I just sent you a couple pictures of the P2K 0-8-0 Parts Page. I hope
you got them? I hope that helps?

So, just to get my dyslectic brain straight, the locomotive's right
(Engineer's) side is the Red wire pick-up and the locomotive's left
(Fireman's) side is the Black wire pick-up? Is that correct? Sorry for being
so
picky.

Thanks for Your Help,
Jerel Eames
