Hi
I have been fitting directional lighting to some of my diesels for DCC, have managed to do 2 (one in a Hornby Hymek the other in a Hornby Class 25), Tried the third (a Lima Class 33), and have got no lighting! I have wired the same as the others except I added an extra LED on each function - but this shouldn't be a problem - I wouldn't have thought (i.e 1 white and 2 red at each end). I then went back to basics and tried to wire just one in - no luck. I then tried to wire it onto each of the other function outputs and still nothing. I have tested the LEDs and they all work independently of the Loco. (they all have resistors on long leg etc.). I was wondering if anyone knew whether it was a decoder problem (loco runs fine) or what else it could be? Could it be the blue common wire that is the problem?
The decoders are all the same - 4 function output NCE D13SRJ.
I have set up as they say in the manual: "If you use LEDs we recommend a 1K ohm 1/4 Watt series resistor in each function lead"
Thanks
