So today, I saved up and bought a ARII HO scale EF65 kit, the one I must assemble, I think I overpaid and I have no idea how to wire up a engine. I need help and guidance to know what to do (it comes with a Mabuchi motor). I know you guys over at BPT know how to wire, so I thought this should be my first stop, as you guys can do some cool stuff with wire .
@"nstrainmaster" your best place to go would be Ucwepn, Tramp and Super. Me, I might be able to help you, but chances of it actually working are slim if I help.
@"Tramp" would be our resident electrical wizard but many may help if we knew what specifically you need. Doesn't the kit come with wiring instructions? A scan of the wiring page posted here may help or a link to view it Online. I can't seem to find your specific kit.
The train only comes with the Mabuchi motor, for running, as for other components, I have no idea. I want the train to run on HO scale tracks, just like any normal train (it has metal wheels and a basic frame I believe). I have no idea, (and I do not think) it has gears or worm gears. I have not bought any components aside from that, because I don't know what to buy D:

It looks like there is a piece of paper underneath the track and the loco body. Although it could be white cardboard. But almost every constructing set/kit should have instructions.
We will just have to wait and see, I don't think I will find the instructions but I will try and if I can't find anything, I'll post them when it gets here
