Can anyone help?
I have a couple of Heljan O gauge locos with XL sound chips fitted and they work fine (no split gears ... yet!), its just that I can't abide the rear lamps being on all the time, especially when hauling trains ... it's just wrong!
Is it possible to do something with the programming so that I can switch off the red lights when not needed or do I have to fiddle around with the wiring? I was thinking with the second option maybe wiring the lights to aux 3/4 with a suitable resistor, but its the next step (with either option) that stumps me.
I have Sprog/JMRI set up but cannot fathom the US based manual (must be my age) or the ESU one (which appears to be a translation from German and which I do not find easy to follow) and was looking for a simple, step by step set, of instructions so that I can use the function keys on my Gaugemaster or NCE handset to switch the lights on/off as required.
So, if anyone in WT land can help this dunce, using words of one syllable (or less ), it would be greatly appreciated.
