Then use the white wire for the control and hook it up to the other lead of the LED. BTW the longer lead on the LED is the positive lead and needs to go to the rail or the blue wire from the decoder and make sure you use a resistor!Words of wisdom. I second the motion.
The LED will out last your loco. the bulb?? who knows when it will burn out.
Scotland shall rise again!
