Reply to "Lionel #450 Signal Bridge Restoration"

Jayhawk500OGR Forum Member SUPPORTING MEMBER

I received everything I need to add the electrics to the signal bridge. I got my 1447 LED bulbs from Town and Country Hobbies. I got new BA9S sockets mainly for the center contact and fiber insulator. So now I'm having to think of how to wire this... I have a plan, but I would like to see if there is a simpler way to do this. Please see the PDF, This is how I currently have the red LED wired using a separate breadboard for the resistor and diode, that you can see at the bottom of the photo. I want to put everything in the bridge piling if possible.

My plan is to use one resistor in the ground circuit and use 2 diodes in each circuit for the positive lead to the LED. OR, is there a simpler way to wire this. I'm using GRJ's Insulated Track Signal Driver. I have one for each side.

Also, I'm unsure of J3...Do I need to ground pins A and B to get this to work. The bridge framing is ground, or do I just leave the pins empty?

Thanks
