I'm in the process of converting my weaver 2-8-0 from tmcc to ERR cruise commander and I dont know what the headlight voltage is. Does Gunrunner John or has anyone else converted one of these locos and know the answer. The lights were connected to the factory installed train america board and appear to have no resistors in line. Thanks Dave

The TAS board uses the R2LC, the same voltage for lighting as the ERR board with the R4LC. Just hook them up.
Truthfully, I typically put a round-top warm white LED in there with appropriate resistor, you get a much more focused headlight, looks like the real thing.
As john said, but if they are driven off the separate CV board like a lot of the brass are, they are 6V bulbs. G
