@Trainlover9943 posted:...The next issue is when I did the end lights in the powered car, when stopped, they do dim a very slight bit, not enough that you could really tell but if you look at it directly after it stops, you can see the change. Almost like the car has rule 17 lighting. I run the set at 18v but if I turn the voltage down a hair (to 17v) that goes away.
1. When you say your present 12V DC LED strips are AC powered, they are directly connected to track-voltage (center-rail roller, outer-rail wheels)?
2. What LEDs did you use for the end lights? In your photo above, if these are the powered end cars, it appears you have green, red, and white lights. Since you say you run DCS presumably these are MTH PS2 and you replaced bulbs with LEDs? That is, PS3 cars are already LED. Just trying to understand what you changed for the end of car lighting and where the power comes from (e.g., a light output on the PS2 harness).
