Does anyone have a diagram for the wiring of a K-line Mikado?

I don’t know of any K-Line repair manual or wire diagrams that are available. depending on your needs, R.D. Teal has a book on Modern Toy Train Repair and Maintenance. It is available from Kalmback (the owner’s of this site). This book has some photos and instruction on repair of sound systems, electrocouplers, smoke systems, pickup rollers and wiring, drive system repair, lighting systems, locomotive tethers, electronic reverse systems, command and railsound circuit boards, etc. Many of our engines have very similar wiring and hopefully you can figure it out. If you have a specific question, perhaps someone here can answer it.

Good Luck

Though the book is on the typical “thin” side, it does have a good bit of information in it. For me, it was worth getting.

I have that book too & like it !! I did get mine from E-bay, but it’s a Kalmback book & I think available from the web-site here, or rather CTT !!

Thanks, John

John, got the layout structures book we spoke about. It too looks good. I have already added some ideas to my scenery, now I just need to get the wiring done so I can start. Thanks for the suggestion.

Dennis : got mine the beginning of the week & I like the way the freight house on page 10 is set up !! I may try buiding one like that !! Oh, there’s a nice easy to build propane unloading rack on page 43 & boy, is the soy bean plant nice !! All very easy to make for O-gauge !!

Glad you got yours also !!

Thanks, John
