Power Pick-Up Truck
Does the
Power Pick-Up Truck
really work well
even though the it only uses four wheels for electrical
pickup?
YES.
The
Power Pick-Up Truck has special mechanical and electrical design which
allows for dependable connection even on moderately dirty and slightly
uneven track.
I see you offer the Power Pick-Up
Truck
with two different wheel sizes. How can I tell which wheel size to
buy?
The very best way is to use a dial caliper and
measure the largest diameter of the wheel tread. If the measurement is
closest to 0.414 inches then the wheel is a scale 36" wheel. If the diameter
is closer to 0.379 inches then the wheel is a scale 33" wheel.
You could also ask your local hobby shop personnel which size
wheels are on the freight cars that you would like to install the Power
Pick-Up Truck.
There is actually very little difference in the
33" and 36" wheels (The radius difference is only 0.017") therefore it is
likely that a 33" will fit an original 36" freight car and vice versa.
Does the
Power Pick-Up
Truck
work with RaiPro?
YES.
Does the
Power Pick-Up Truck
work with DCC?
YES.
Does the
Power Pick-Up Truck
work with an Analog Power Supply?
YES.
Does the
Power Pick-Up Truck
require any
maintenance?
YES.
For
good operation you will need to clean it's wheels about
as often as you clean your locomotive wheels. The good news is, unlike
a locomotive with 8 or 12 wheels, you will only need to clean 4 wheels on
the Power Pick-Up Truck. Also, you will need to lubricate the bushings
once in a while. Please see instructions for complete details.
Can you use two Power Pick-Up Trucks on the same
freight car?
YES.
One Power
Pick-Up truck should provided dependable connection to the track but you can put
one power Pick-Up Truck on each end of a freight car for the ultimate in
dependable track connection. You will need to parallel the wires together. You
can use a meter to be sure you connect the proper wires together.
