Gaugemaster 2 aspect platform mounted signal.

Just received the above signal but this is my first time fiddling with electrics. 

It has a green, red and black wire. The black wire has a resistor fitted to it. 

How do I wire this up to a supply.

You need some form of On-On switch or lever (lever is the Hornby R046 Yellow lever or the Peco PL23). A SPDT toggle switch will also provide On-On feeding.

 

I would recommend using a 12 volt DC regulated power supply to feed the signal.  Take the positive 12v to the lever or switches common wiring connection (centre on a toggle switch). Then two wires from the other two switch connections go to the signals red and green wires.   Take the signals resistor fitted black wire to the 12v negative. Then moving the lever from one position to the other causes the aspect to change.
