PS3 install: marker circuit capability? | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

It was posted before, that the PS2 board's marker circuit was designed for the micro LEDs that were included in upgrade kits. Regular bulbs would overload it. I was told not even to use regular LEDs on it.

I'm installing a new diesel PS3 kit into a USA Trains diesel. It has a regular LED in the dash board. I was trying to figure out where to connect it? As I look over the diagram for options the marker circuit looks the best. It is not used in this model. I was wondering if the circuit is still lower power just for the MTH micro LED markers? Would it drive regular sized LEDs?

I thought of tying to the headlight circuit so it would be on when running. The interior lights go out I believe. The mars lights are also unused, but I believe they'll still flash?

I'm pretty sure all the LED's drives have a similar rating, I'd be very surprised if it doesn't work.
