Changed out a MTH PS.2 to the ERR Commander with Railsounds card.  Question is the Aero Train was used and the previous owner added flashing green LED marker lights on the engine along with flashing ditch lights.  The green marker lights were on all the time in forward and reverse and the ditch lights flashed with the horn.  How do I connect the marker lights to be on all the time and have the ditch work with the horn?   On the railsounds card there are extra connecting pins would any of them run the any of the lights.  I have replace all the lights with LEDs.

The Cruise Commander doesn't have any provision for operating ditch lights.  However, I have come up with a way to add them to TMCC upgrades using the ERR Sound Converter board.  I did have to "tweak" the software on the board to get proper operation, but that's how I do ditch lights now with TMCC.  Here's a thread with more information.

Adding ditch lights to TMCC Locomotives using the ERR Sound Converter

Note that for existing TMCC locomotives being upgraded using the ERR Cruise Commander M, you can have operating ditch lights directly as the CC-M provides ditch light outputs.
