Found an American Flyer 314AW at an auction Saturday and am trying to test it. The accompanying track is badly corroded, so for now just using the leads from a transformer to test the locomotive.
I put the leads from the transformer on the two brass button-like terminals in the cab of the locomotive, but no joy. I have a feeling this locomotive works, but I am not testing it properly. Can one bypass the tender and just attach the AC leads to the locomotive? Does the 314AW run on AC or DC?
Thanks for help...
