I am using the Lionel 180 watt powerhouse (6-22983) as the power source to remotely control the speed/direction/whistles/bells of my conventional Lionel locomotives, using the Cab1L. However, I want to feed a constant current, approximately 12-14 volts, to the signals and lights that are triggered from insulated track sections by passing trains. I was able to do this with my old KW transformer by providing a reduced but constant "A" or "B" current from the "D" post rather than powering these accessories from the variable track current that powers the locomotives. I have identified the "A" side of the new powerhouse. So I am looking for suggestions to reduce this 18 volt current feed to 12-14 volts. Is there a component that could be wired in series between the powerhouse and the power feed to the lights and signals?
Thanks!
