Hi Gi Joe. I am assuming that you are wiring this on the DC side of the train power supply. So, the negative from the power supply goes to one of the rail connections. From this run a wire to the negative of the switch. The positive of the power supply runs to the positive of the switch. The ACC of the switch runs to the positive connection of the rail. The switch breaks and makes the positive connection to the rail. The power supply is 12 volts I also assume. The light should now go on when the switch is set to ON and suppling power to the rails. The negative of the power supply provides a return so that the light goes on and the train can run.
Please leave a comment if this helps.
