Hello group, my Son and I are currently working on finishing up a DCC
installation in an original Rex 0-6-0 switcher and are experiencing
major (to us) electrical pick-up problems. Apologies in advance if
this is a long post; however, we are both starting to pull our hair
out over this and to those of you who know me, I don't have much left
to lose.
The problem area is the "hot side" drivers. It appears that only one
of the drive wheels - the rear in this case - is transferring power to
the chassis. Note the tender pick-ups are fine and the insulated side
of the drive wheels is okay also.
The engine is fully painted (some minor knicks) and appears to be well
maintained. There is some slight corrosion (rust) on the driver
rims. The drivers are painted. While almost impossible to tell, it
does not appear that someone swapped insulated for non-insulated
drivers.
Our questions are:
1. Shouldn't all three drive wheels on the hot side be "live or non-
insulated"?
2. Has anyone ever encountered this condition and if so the cause?
There appears to be no continuity on the front driver and perhaps some
continuity in the middle driver.
Thank you in advance for any guidance in this problem.
Respectfully,
Kenny Palmer
