DCC COACH LIGHTING

Here's my homemade coach lighting showing how to make this in any scale.
Sharing the ways we can make our models look better is a good way we can all improve and further enjoy our great hobby. Hope this helps ....

G'Day Robin...its not just smoke and mirrors ! ... it really does work with no flickering lights ... it had to be proven at the end (grin)

[@robingagnon9659]

@@scoopmmr good day to you too! this is really useful to me, I needed to know it to wire my caboose lights :) thanks for all

If you put this circuit onto regular dc will it still work? Or does the rectifier not work?

[@scoopmmr]

Yes with DC but add a capacitor to keep power storage

[@BC-fy1wn]

How warm does that circuit get Laurie?I seem to remember the old timey constant lighting circuits got very hot on 12 V. DC. Bret

G'Day Bret, I have not had a heat issue, regards Laurie

[@BarrysBench]

Laurie, What size LEDs did you use there? Great job mate!

[@scoopmmr]

G'Day Barry, the SMD's are chip size 5050 and tinted with Tamiya orange clear paint - hope you are staying safe and well mate. Laurie

Thank you Laurie. We're staying safe here. I'm working from home and my wife does some too.
