Norfolk and Western position light signals can be connected to the Signalist SC1 as in the below diagram. A second single head can be connected to terminals E,F, G and H when a single head configuration is required instead of A, B, C and D.

Note that when using the CV38=8 configuration flashing aspects can be achived by toggling between the solid aspect and dark. Software such as JMRI will do this automatically.

In JMRI use DCC Signal Mast Decoder for CV38=67-71 and 129, use Quad Output for each positon light head when CV38=8, Double Output for each red/yellow/green searchlight head when CV38=8 and Triple Output RGB for each red/yellow/green/lunar searchlight head when CV38=8.
