I have a set of MTH GP35's that have 2 to 3 rail capability. The dummy has a full set of lights that I do not want on...can I just flip the switch on the dummy to 2 rail or do I have to remove the roller pickups ?
Thanks

Personnally, I would remove the pickups or light bulbs. I'm not sure but my best guess is the switch would work, but you are now changing the hot and common pickup from roller and wheels to just wheels, I'd be concerned about causing a short not knowing for sure. I also thought there was an on/off switch for the lights on these locomotives. Just my two cents.
Thank you Charly....after looking closer at the one switch....it would seem that it has nothing to do with 2 to 3 rail operation.....it just simply is a on and off switch for the lights. My fault for assuming something .....I never thought I would need to read the instructions for a dummy unit....but I should have.
