    There is probably a simple answer to this....
    Is the light board for the water bottle tenders intended for DCC operation only?
    I put one in mine and see no light, forward or back. I, being a true dinosaur, am DC operation only.

    thanks,
    SuperSteam.

    Well I'm also a true dinosaur in DC only.
    Was wondering the same thing before I got some.

    Also was wondering about the onboard steam sounds on DC.

    The board is actually designed for DC. Check the position of the board and pickups. The flat part of the pickup sits flush against the pickup already inside the tender. The board sits almost in the middle of the bay on top of the triangle pickup.

    The light is on all the time under DCC. It is directional under DC power.

    Cheers,
