Die-Cast Locomotives

Metal engine and/or tender bodies present a special problem for the TrainMaster® system, since

the radio signal cannot reach the circuit if the circuit and antenna are enclosed within.

If your tender has a plastic body, you may attach the antenna to the inside of the plastic shell

anywhere it is convenient. The orientation of the antenna should be parallel with the track

direction.

If you have a diecast tender shell, you will need to electrically isolate it from the chassis.

1. Using black electrical tape, cover the chassis at every location that comes in contact with

the tender shell. Usually, you need only wrap a continuous piece of tape around the sides

of the chassis with part of the tape overlapping on top. When the tender shell is

installed, the tape should not be visible.

2. Place the shell on the chassis, and use an ohmmeter to test for continuity. If you do not

have access to an ohmmeter, carefully inspect the chassis and tender shell for any areas

that may be in contact with each other. Correct as necessary.

3. Attach the antenna to the inside of the diecast shell. Place it over an area where there is

no paint. You may need to scrape away paint to make good electrical contact between the

antenna and the tender shell. Alternatively, you can remove the copper strip from the

antenna wire, and attach the exposed wire to any available hardware such as a nut, bolt, or

screw within the tender shell.

4. Fasten the tender shell to the chassis using nylon screws. These are available at most

hardware stores. After tightening the screws, make sure that there is still no electrical

continuity between the shell and chassis.

Testing Your Installation

Before applying power to the locomotive, carefully inspect all solder connections for short

circuits and loose connections. Make sure all wire nuts are tight. Pay particular attention to

the underside of the circuit board, ensuring that it is not in contact with any metal parts of

the engine chassis. Also, it is important that any unused wires do not come in contact with any

part of the circuit or any exposed metal parts. Either cut-off unused wires, or wrap their ends

with electrical tape in order to prevent short circuits.

1. Remove all other locomotives from the track, and make sure that all power is OFF.

2. Make sure your Trainmaster® system is properly connected.

3. Verify that your system is operational by observing the indicators on the Command Base as

buttons are pressed on the CAB-1.

damage to your locomotive in the event of a malfunction due to improper installation.

6. Turn on power. Observe that the engine headlamp is lit and not flickering.

7. Make sure that none of the circuit components, including the wiring, are hot to the touch,

and that no smoke or burning odor is present. Otherwise, shut down power immediately.

8. Using the CAB-1 controller, press [ENG][1], then slowly turn the red button clockwise.

9. Use the Troubleshooting section to help you determine the problem if the engine does not

respond as it should.
