Hm who is the posh makers of these aristocrats live steam, or could we be talking Aristocraft?does anyone have a diagram of the wiring for aristocrats live steam loco.
does anyone have a diagram of the wiring for aristocrats live steam loco.
They only made one to my knowledge - a 2-8-2 that came in an extremely fancy carry caseI didn't know Aristocraft (if that is what is meant) ever made a live steam model - could you give us all some more details on exactly what model you are referring to, so we can try to help?

That takes a bit of doing - a sound card in a live steamerCame from the factory with an R/C system, a sound card and I believe a headlight.
I have the manual, but there is no circuit diagram. Many people dumped the electronics and replaced with more standard stuff.
Lots of tricks to make it run better, like removing the regulator.

You might just have a pointFor future reference for any company considering making live steam locomotives:
Please do not give it wires, circuits, or batterys of any kind.
Live steam operators dont want it and dont need it.
yeah, the circuitry in the Aristo live steam locomotives was universally unpopular.
and if it didn't work (which was often) you couldn't run the locomotive at all.
Live steam locomotives should only require water, fuel, fire and lubricating oil. that's the whole point.

Sorry Scot have to disagree and agree. I have thought that a Sound Card in a Live Steam is a little bit over the top, a Chuff Pipe does work nicely if one can be fitted. The Live Steam Sounds just fine but small whistles can be a little weak sounding. Perhaps a card for just a proper whistle would be fine. But for Operation and I mean Shunting, Running Round and all around Control up and down Gradients then a SloMo coupled with Radio Control puts you in another world of satisfaction.For future reference for any company considering making live steam locomotives:
