tap key on electric loco's

Post by michaelhendle »

Hi,
Can some one give me a idiots guide to tap mode on electric loco's I have a Class 86 and can't fathom out what and where the tap is.
It doesn't help having a stroke,which is half my trouble,I was going to get WCML-N but it seems pointless,as most of the loco's for it seem to be electric
thanks in advance for any help given

I'm a bit busy at the moment Mike but I am sure somebody will be able to dig up the post with the Youtube video on how to drive these beasts. There is a knack to it but once you get the hang of it it becomes easier.

First person to find the post with the video in it gets my thanks for this afternoon :-)
Kindest regards
