Tom,
If you haven't taken the plunge and bought any yet, if the locomotives have a 21 pin connector, my recommendation would be to buy one that's already 21 pin. My last 21 pin was a Soundtraxx unit. I believe they do make adapters to the 9-pin connectors, but the fewer the connections, the more reliable the connection in the long run.
Resistors would be for lighting features only, and resistance values would depend on the bulb or LED you select. If I use an LED, in general the resistance is about 1000 Ohms.
