I bought an MTH lock-on that has a light, but it was too wide for use on the
sidings.  I'll make 4 lionel power lock-ons with lights.

yes.

100% manual means no command controlled use.  Can't have that.  but perhaps
you just meant manual application of power.  This would be fine, but I think
we really need seperate power for each siding associated with a main line
(see me previous note about using the 3 RW transformers to do this).
