I just discovered one of those ancient two stick throttles that was sold by a now defunct hobby shop out west somewhere…its gotta be 15 plus years old, but I wired it up in a loco test bed, and it still works, the only problem is there is no lighting output. Anyone got any suggestions?

Bart had one of my old # REV-LITE pcb’s he used.
They read motor voltage and once the opto coupler detects .7 of a volt going to the motor(s) they switch a transistor for either forward or reverse lights using the traction batteries.
No R/C needed.
