Rewiring LGB Genesis motors and lights for installation of PnP [QSI] Radio Control.

For instructions and pictures on dissassembly of the Genesis, and speaker installation, please refer to a previous thread posted here: http://www.mylargescale.com/Community/Forums/tabid/56/aff/35/aft/112463/afv/topic/Default.aspx In the previous thread, a 10-pin plug was used to connect the LGB PCB to a QSI Magnum PnP adaptor.

In this thread, the LGB PCB is removed. Motors, track pickups, and lighting are wired directly to the QSI Magnum board using connecting plugs. Extra care was taken to keep all original LGB plugs that connected to the PCB intact in case I ever want to re-install the PCB.

The smoke unit bulkhead was moved to the rear of the original LGB PCB seen here. The Speaker is installed. The LGB motor/pickup, and lighting connections can be seen in this picture. The LGB PCB is then removed.

A 4-pin JST plug from AllElectronics was modified to connect to the original two LGB motor plugs.

A multimeter was used to determine the left and right track pickups and motor feeds. The JSTs were connected to the LGB plugs. The wire tie shown just holds the two sets of plugs together. The Track and motor outgoing wires from the JSTs were connected in parallel from the front and rear trucks as shown in the picture.
