Cattle loader
« on: March 12, 2020, 07:27:25 am »
I wired up the platform and it works OK but the train car doors don't open. If I run the car over a decoupler they open fine. There's a flat brass piece on the platform that sticks through the tracks, is that supposed to make contact with something?

I watched a video and see there is a power bar that fits in the slot, where do I find that?
