Title: Bachmann k27 additional lighting
Post by: Nickxlucas on March 28, 2022, 11:22:01 PM

Sorry newbie here. Just finished wiring up my bachmann large scale k 27. Wanting to add a rear light but the loco didn't originally have one so there no spot on the board. How would I add a rear light using the railpro module?

If the motherboard is the same as on this site: https://www.bachmanntrains.com/home-usa/k27_2010.php?k27page=3, then the J1 Pin 9 in the rear light for the tender.

My 27 is the 455 with no rear light from factory. I repainted it to 463 quick has a rear light. So I've added a light to the tender but not sure how to wire it up

If you've added a new light that isn't going to use any of the existing onboard electronics you would simply wire the new light straight to the wiring harness on the LM. Page 7 of the LM-4S-G manual (https://www.ringengineering.com/RailPro/Documents/LM-4SGInstructions.pdf (https://www.ringengineering.com/RailPro/Documents/LM-4SGInstructions.pdf)) shows how.
