I’m fusing the pickup wires, as Ray Manley recommends. Should be here on Wed.
Jerry, I’m making a carrier to haul the loco out to the layout. Carry the tender afterwards. Just the engine is 36"
If you can make the fuses external, great, that’s the best way, in my opinion. I add so many to the Aristo locos that I use the polyswitch now (the 3 amp ones, cheap from mouser/digikey).
Yeah, no big boy is light!
