ok, i tried hooking this up as a test and everything worked except the led will not light when the track is hot, it only lights when the throttle is advanced and the loco starts moving. What did i do wrong? My switches are SPDT. they have 3 terminals on the bottom. Thanks,

WOW, Thanks for the website. That pretty much makes everything clear to me now. The only thing i am still not 100% sure of myself about is hooking up the led's and resistors. I will continue to review this website and it appears that with all that info i should be able to complete my wiring...

I will check out that website(my pc is painfully slow on dial up). I have no intention of running two trains at the same time. Although i have a dual cab controller i have always only used one side. I have never used both controls. My layouts have always been partial to the use of only one cab...

Thanks so much to all you guys. Ya'll have made this somewhat more clearer to me now. I currently have both rails insulated. Will this work or do i need to make just one side insulated? I recently got back from Radio Shack, i picked up (20) Led's and (20) 1/4-1k resistors. All of my switches are...

Sorry, My controller has a Cab "A" Cab "B" and an accessory. It is a DC Controller.

Wiring Thank you so much for all this information. However, you are bascially speaking greek to me. I know nothing about this type of electronics. I may just use a standard light instead of the led's. I am starting get the feeling that would be alot easier. I am about to take a trip to the...

wiring I am using TECH II Dual DC controller. What resistors do i need and how do i wiring the resistors, switches and LED's all together??? Thanks,

I am building a somwhat large layout with numerous dead end sidings and turnouts. I want to isolate most all of the sidings and turnouts because i will have several locomotives staged along these areas of my track. I have purchased a dozen or so DPDT toggle switches. I am wanting to wire each...
