Good morning, everyone! <br /> <br />I model a small industrial switching operation in a waterfront area, so I'm still with DC rather than DCC. Many, MANY years ago, I wired a steam loco that would light the headlight on the smokebox when operating forward and the one on the tender when in reverse. I do remember that I had to pick up some simple supplies from Radio Shack in addition to grain-of-wheat bulbs (now that really dates me!) and CalScale headlight castings, but my many moves since then has caused me to misplace the directions for the project AND the engine! <br /> <br />Can anyone give me a VERY SIMPLE explanation of how this can be done? I know it isn't really prototypical for the 1940's, BUT I LIKE IT!
