There would be no need to insulate the frame from the trucks if you add the second red wire. The frame would still be at the red wire polarity, but since it wouldn't be electrically connected to anything, it wouldn't matter.... sort of like an electrical outlet with nothing plugged into it.
On another note, yesterday afternoon I ordered a P2K ATSF GP7 with sound from Trainworld. That's the place with the multi-page black and white ads in MR magazine.
Once again Thanks!
I was worried about the thought of insulating the trucks. But, I understand what you are saying.
Yes. The belt sander did a might fine job. A little on the slow side, noisy and it created A LOT of metal "dust". The chassis also got a little hot and needed to be handled with gloves, otherwise its gets a little too hot to handle. Its still the original belt on it too, however I think I might have to replace after this latest effort. I think it was on its last legs anyway.
The bad news is that I have not seen one (the belt sander that is) carried by any of the box box or little hardware stores anywhere. I can still get belts, but I don't think that they sell the actual tool anymore.
I'll have to take a picture of it and post it up so that people can see what I'm talking about. Its a Delta Bench Top Belt/Disc Sander. Great tool for lots of projects IMHO.
