I have a Lionel loco 885. It has 3 pairs of wires coming out of it (see picture). One pair is orange/black, the 2nd pair is red/blue, and the 3rd pair is brown/grey. I want to know what exactly the 3 pairs of wires do. I assume one is motor, one is headlight, and one is track power (perhaps). If I want to power this with battery, can I send DC voltage to the wires that go to the motor (whichever they are). Is the headlight an LED (ie, do I need to add a resistor to any power I send to the headlight)? Thank you.
