GRJ,
I finally had a chance to continue work on the install tonight. I swapped out the smoke unit (works as it should), swapped out the couplers (they were PS2 w/ patent info), and a few other things. Now I’m at the point where I’m installing the lighting. The marker lights (LEDs) are in series and are on a spring contact PCB that was fed by the original PS2 board. I’ll be changing those out to bi-color LEDs and wiring them per your schematic. The number boards, headlight, mars light, cab light, and front coupler (already moved onto TAS board) were all connected to a slave PCB which was controlled by the PS2 board. I’m trying to decide which is the best way to control the lights. Should I connect the mars light AND headlight to the front headlight output or run the headlight constant and just hook up the mars light to the output? I’m planning on running the number board lights and cab light on constant 6 volts. Any ideas or thoughts? Also, what is the best way to get the mars light working as it prototypically should? Are there any boards out there that can replicate the oscillating effect?
