Tony, I am in the process of converting an LGB Mikado without decoder to the RCS 5 system. I want to use the LGB sound system. I have it completely apart, and have installed all the equipment in the Tender. I am trying to figure out which wires are for the bell, whistle, chuff, and front and year lights. My salesman had me wire in a relay-u for the lights. I have wired directly to the red/black wires that were originally track power. I believe the 3 wires on one side of the 5 wire cable are the ones I want to tap in to. Do I need to wire the front headlight directly to the SW-5 board, or will it work without doing that? I am concerned that I will blow out the electronics, so want to be sure before I add the power. Your help would be most appreciated. Thanks, Red
