Hi. Looking for some advice please.

I have seen differing videos for installation of the above into motorised turnouts with digital control. In one, the brown wire from the lantern pcb was connected to the track brown and the yellow connected to a separate power supply which seems slightly odd. In a second, both wires from the lantern were connected to a separate power supply; and in a third, both wires were soldered to pads on the digital control pcb.

Can someone advise me on the best/correct way to wire these up please? Many thanks

Alex

Further to what Jean said - as he states, the LED uses so little power it is not a problem to run it off the digital signal, bu tthe downside to this is if there is a short on the layout (derailment or some other reason) that causes the control unit to turn off track power, then the power to the turnout indicators also gets turned off.

For this reason many people will run the decoders and indicator lanterns from a seperate booster, which will then maintain the LED power, and possibly allow operation of the points while sorting out the cause of the short. For this reason some people maintain old digital boosters like the 6015/6017 or DELTA control units as a booster for this purpose.

However initially I would just wire it to the track as Marklin designed it. If you decide later that you would like seperate power for them you can always change it (assuming you have arranged things so you can get at them).

Thanks everyone for your input - it is much appreciated
