The Mystery of Electronics

[jonathan]

NM,

The SD7s will probably stay 'as is' until I move to DCC (someday).

However, I just started work on a Mantua Mikado I received for my 12th birthday (many moons ago).  If all goes well, this would be a perfect loco to experiment with forward/reverse lighting.  I superdetailed a Varney tender to replace the original long haul tender.  The 'new' tender has a reverse light.

Am I restricted to the size/wattage of bulbs with the microelectronics kit?

Regards,

Jonathan

If you go the DCC route, I would use a GOR 12-16 v bulb with a 22 ohm 1/4 resistor
