I have a problem connecting the lights on a NW7 loco but there are three lights, forward, reverse, and a cab light. Now I know how to connect for forward (white and blue wires) and reverse (yellow ans blue wires) lights but where do I connect the always on separate cab light?

Hi Guys
Just bought a couple of O scale NP F9's off Ebay here in the UK & enspired by a great article in Pacific Rail News Dec 1995 about an enclave of BN units still operating in Washington state I want to turn these in to a couple of recently retired BN units leased or sold to a shortline in the 80's.
Hi all! It's been a while.. but here's my latest build:
A Stamp mill in HO scale for my HOn3 layout.
I've made it from plans in the "Old wood and stone buildings" book.
I CAD converted the drawn plans and as I have a 3D printer, I printed the timber frame, windows, doors, smoke stack and loading platform.
I then covered the frame with Northeastern wood and the roof with cardboard covered with surgical tape.
The stays for the smokestack are made of piano wire.
This past Saturday I went to the last train show of the season. I didn't think I'd find anything of interest. Fortunately or unfortunately it turned out good. Fortunate because I found something interesting and unfortunate because I just added another project to the list. But I think it will be a quick project for those rainy spring days.
One of the great things about internet forums is all new interesting and nice model railroad friends you learn to know.
A guest who I come to know on another forum visited me all the way from Germany yesterday. Great fun! We run one full round of operations on my layout and had a lot of fun.
One of the things I really like to do with my diesel-era DCC layout is make my diesel lashups into double-ended consists. I'll start out with what it is, and then maybe later on we'll talk about how to set it up on the various systems.
The idea is simple - I like to make my diesel lashups so the end you dial up is the front. For instance, if I have a lashup of three SD9's (the arrow > represents the direction the cab is facing) ...

After much consideration and input from MRH readers I decided to proceed with the CCT in S scale so I thought a new thread would be easier to follow. Anyone interested in the thoughts and suggests relating to the choice can search up my previous CCT threads. Here's a concept track plan subject to fine tuning as the track is laid out and viewed on the benchwork.
I'll start the thread this week
Show 'em if you got'em............works in progress to finished projects.

Hello, I have been helping my dad to get his layout up and running to the very best it can, and I have been running into a rather odd issue.
We are using bachmann EZ track, and with the turnouts or as I would call them, switches, we have been having some difficulties with a specific few.
