It doesn't even apply to the old stuff though
#1, #2, #3, A, B, C, D, & U
And U might be common or hot depending on a single or muti-throttle unit.
Some used U as the common, some used U as the varible.
Really makes things a little convoluted. If the intent is to keep commons together to keep ac "In phase" don't we defeat the purpose if we hook up a light backwards? Just trying to do this right. After 14 switches and 25 different power points I don't want to waste the time I spent trying to keep common separate from hot. FYI, the switches are powered by a Lionel Brick. These street lights will get their voltage from the transformer operating the trains.
