Gentlemen,
I am now working on upgrading a Weaver Brass Berkshire with an ERR unit. The Loco has conventional lights. With 18 volts on the track, how is it that I am reading almost 40 Volts at the 4 (front),5 (rear) and 6(common) terminals on the ERR board? This is a scenery and backdrop painter asking this question. I continue to baffled as to why hooking up the lights to an ERR board seem to be so difficult (now my 7th upgrade). This would absolutely blow the bulbs for the standard reverse light and marker lamps in the tender (and would be a problem even for LED bulbs correct?). What are the solutions and how, in layman's terms, can the volts get so high with only 18 coming in?
