Hi all, sorry for this.. another headlight squestion. i have been looking around a fair bit to try and solve my answer, but i only get mixed answers. what i would like to do is have it so my headlights come on instantly, at full brightness when the train is only getting a little bit of current, i want to have a power source in the loco for the headlights, (im thinking some of those small 3v button lights) and i want it so somehow there is some sort of electronic switch that automatically turns the headlight on when current is detected in one of the rails. i was thinking maybe a transistor of some sort, but i am unfrmiliar with these.
Any input welcome, Thanks
*Note, i understand this is easy with DCC, however i cannot currently afford this with buying decoders and all. so for now i want the above setup ^
Thanks
