Schematic

Schematic showing connections

The schematic taken from the BUT A Series Service Manual shows the electrical connections to the swiches, one on each engine. The common feed to both is "Train +", when the switches operated this is connected to the "Oil Pressure 1" and "Oil Pressure 2" circuits.

Those two circuits are connected to one side of the appropriate bulb on the cab display - the other side of the bulb to "Train -", and also to the jumper sockets.
