I have recently installed my first set of coach lighting from Express models.
I found the instructions about the pick up to be a little vague, getting a 1 1/2 inch strip of phosphor bronze strip and a bit of coiled wire.
But it's a simple, or so I thought, method for getting power to the light unit.
I have not yet put a decoder in the coach so pulling power straight from the wheel so coach is permanently lit. what I do get is the most irritating electric buzz from the coach as soon as the power goes on.
Is this a symptom of not putting a decoder in and would this go with the addition of one?
Cheers
