If using pads A and B then choose the pre-wired LED which is just above your supply voltage - 7.5v or less, 12v or less and 18v or less (eg if using 6v, buy the 7.5v version). The leads are colour-coded (Orange = 3.5v, Yellow = 7.5v, Red = 12v, Brown = 18v) See more .....

Bi-colour LED (red/white) (5mm dia)
This LED has three 'legs'. There are two sorts -
a) The centre leg is a common cathode (ie negative lead) and the two outer legs (anodes) are connected to the positive supply
b) The centre leg is a common anode (ie positive lead) and the two outer legs are cathodes which are connected to negative.
Connecting the outer legs will make the LED glow bright white or red dependent on which one is connected to the supply. If you are connecting this LED to the direction outputs from the RCT-Rx102, you will not need to use a current-limiting resistor as one is built-into the Rx. However, with all other applications, then a resistor will need to be connected to the cathode, its value being dependent on the voltage being used (see below). Available with or without 20cm wires attached. See more .....

Resistors
Resistors for LEDs
If you are not connecting LEDs directly to an RCT-RX102 receiver, you will need to include a resistor in series with your LEDs. The value of the resistor is dependent on the supply voltage. To use the LEDs supplied by RCT Trains, you will need the following values:

Lithium-ion battery protection circuit boards
These circuit boards help to protect rechargeable lithium batteries from over-charging, over-discharging, excess current drain and short circuit. When making battery packs for locos with two or three lithium cells in series (2S or 3S), it is essential that they are protected from adverse conditions. Please do not make up your own packs of lithium batteries unless you are confident about what you are doing. See more ........
