Hey Simon! Great channel and great videos! Would it be okay to share your channel on social media and maybe as part of a video too? Love what you do and keep it up! Good point on the wiring too - it can be quite stressful - definitely a good idea to start with a few tester models first haha
For Crewe Works. Well made tutorial. Am ordering a DC version of the lights, for a Lima class 37 from the same supplier. This is an option I never expected for old Lima engines. Alan.
Nice video, I am just working on my conversion at the moment. I have not read all the comments but it is wise after making any alterations to your loco or decoder to see if you can still read the loco address on your programming track prior prior to attempting to power up the loco on your main track. If you cannot read it then it is likely your wiring is wrong. If you place it on the main track having been unable to read the address on the progamming track then you will probably blow your decoder. Done that, got the T shirt.
Hallo Will (and Craig) great to see the works again. These are quite useful vids so please do more when possible. It appears that blacking the inside front slightly darkens the outside paintscheme, though may not notice when body is back on chassis
Very interesting and informative- I'm glad that all of my HO have the required lighting but not DCC (expensive) and my N scale, well you get the picture (too difficult), they all the head/ditch/tail lights and some interior lighting that I put in the coaches, but no sound. Nice going there Craig, and you too - camera man Will ;)
Great informative video.....showing every detail.....giving me the confidence to have a go myself... Would like to see a video on soldering and heat shrink in detail if you can recommend one... eg.how to solder such small wires ..prevention of damage to other parts ..heat shrinking etc
Great tutorial, only thing missing for me was a close-up of the soldering of the wires onto the chip on the chassis. I find soldering tricky, so this would help me at least.
Thanks for the feedback. The next time I do a video featuring soldering, I'll be sure to focus on the soldering. A lot of it is down to practice and confidence. Start with basic jobs first and then move on to more technical ones. Just play, basically! :)
i like the Fitting lights to the TTS Sound Class 37 by hornby it look good and will i wish you a merry christmas and a happy new year form darren hickey hornby GWR
Thanks very much for this video, Followed your instructions and it worked, except the direction of the lights were the wrong way so just swapped the wires over, All ok. I am really pleased with my 37 now and I think this same kit might fit the horny TTS sound 47class so will probably try it. Thanks again. Really Useful Video . Ted
IC82! there's a game online called TrainStation its on a website called Pixel Federation its free to make an account you can use you google account and you start in the steam age and progress to the diesel age and so on its really cool i think you should check it out
Everything's relative really, in the world of models there are much trickier jobs - this tutorial might be quite hard for some people, but then others might think it's baby stuff. In the end, it's just a tutorial on one way of getting lights fitted to this particular model.
did the lights work in the right direction with the motor ? I had trouble with a hornby TTS decoder and an express models lighting kit . the lights being in the opposite direction to the the motor. so I had the tail light on when going forward
They did indeed work in the correct direction. If you have found the wrong ones are lighting up depending on the direction it's going in, it will be down to wiring. It could either be wiring you have done or wiring on the lighting kit - but swapping the wires over where they've been twisted together will sort it. If you need any further help, let me know!
InterCity82 thanks for the offer but I got so frustrated with the model I sold it on eBay. I was asking as I might have another go with a different TTS model. It will be good to be able to get the TTS decoders as a separate item to upgrade your old locos
Haha well noticed! It's a sound effect of an industrial warehouse/workshop. In silence I felt the video lacked a bit of atmosphere but music seemed a bit... not quite right. So I thought the sound effect was worth a go.
InterCity82 Yeah I think it was a great to be honest, it gave the video some theme. I think you should do something like that in your model reviews, especially if you can find the sound for the loco your revewing!!
Haha it was just an industrial workshop sound effect. I can try music next time but it's not gonna be possible to please everyone with roughly 1/3 of people saying leave it quiet, 1/3 saying have sound effects and 1/3 saying have music lol lol
We did this ages ago with our Lima Class 50 ua-cam.com/video/pCVJ8566moA/v-deo.html just never got round to making a how to video on it, good job mate!
If your going to do instructional videos you need to get the info correct so if anyone follows your direction they dont blow anything. BLUE is pos+ and not common "neutral" whatever thats supposed to be.
Good to see Crewe Works back..... Excellent video
Thank you!
I recognise the ambience of the offshore rig from Tomb Raider 2 in the background of this video. That was a good addition, so it sounds like a works.
Nicely explained / demonstrated, I always find it nerve-wracking fiddling with the electrics on expensive locos!

InterCity82 Thanks Will, of course it's OK, share away!
loverly great see crew works again 😊
It's EMU 83 good to see you ☺
Thank you!
9 people didnt like it? What's not to like?!! Beautifully made, very useful well done!

Express models are very good a unique shop with a fantastic service.
Great video, good to see regular videos again. Looking forward to the APT project
Thanks for the comment! YES! Craig is going to upload part 2 of that and maybe part 3 as well, at Christmas.
I liked this model, ever since you posted the first video of it! It's been so long, I forgot it didn't have lights!
Doesn't it look good with them?!

Well made video, easy to follow thanks
Hallo Will (and Craig) great to see the works again. These are quite useful vids so please do more when possible. It appears that blacking the inside front slightly darkens the outside paintscheme, though may not notice when body is back on chassis
more of an American train fan but damn! i love class 37s and 08s

Lllloooovvvveeee your intro
now i know how to fit lights thanks for the vid ic82!!
lovely video
very nice job. the lights look great :)
Thanks for the comment!
great video very well done great work
Thank you!
Great tutorial, only thing missing for me was a close-up of the soldering of the wires onto the chip on the chassis. I find soldering tricky, so this would help me at least.
Nick Russell I found soldering difficult too until I got a demonstration at school. Once you practice, it becomes dead easy.
Thanks for the feedback. The next time I do a video featuring soldering, I'll be sure to focus on the soldering. A lot of it is down to practice and confidence. Start with basic jobs first and then move on to more technical ones. Just play, basically! :)
Hi Will As usual Craig has shown a lovely 'How To', but can you ask Craig when he will conclude part 2 of his APT upgrade, cheers.
wonderful work :)
Thanks for the comment!
great video and tips will, i enjoyed the video keep it up
Thank you! Will do!
i like the Fitting lights to the TTS Sound Class 37 by hornby it look good and will i wish you a merry christmas and a happy new year form darren hickey hornby GWR
Darren Hickey hornby GWR thanks! And a merry Xmas to you too
thank you four yor comment i will i wish you a merry christmas and a happy new year you to form darren hickey hornby GWR
Thank you!
Looks a lot better with lights I think :).
Ash.
Good vid
Thanks!
InterCity82 it is so handy
cool
1: paint the sides of the leds to avoid light bleed, 2: cab lights are warm white not yellow/orange
Evening will, Craig another fantastic video would this this be the same principal for a class 47 with TTS sound ?
I should think the process would be almost identical. I bet inside the models it's a very similar set-up.
ok will, thanks very much please feel free to have a visit of my channel.
its lovely but can those litting werk with class 58 in dc
Thanks very much for this video, Followed your instructions and it worked, except the direction of the lights were the wrong way so just swapped the wires over, All ok.

Nice video again Will, very useful and looking to those vids on the weekend:)
Is there a proper vid on Friday aswell?
It went up yesterday - and I'm gonna do a quirky little one today as well.
+InterCity82 I have watched it very much enjoyed it and looking forward to tonight video aswell
i fitted ditch lights to my 56!
Nice!
InterCity82 omg You replied for the 3rd time! Am I dreaming???
Very good video Will, very well explained, can you tell me if there is a website for lighting for Lego models, thanks Will, take care
Thanks for the comment! I'm not sure about the Lego ones but I know you can buy lights from Lego directly.
Great video and explanation, but with my mince pies not tip top and having fat fingers, I think it best to get a pro to do it.
I never thought adding lights would be difficult
Everything's relative really, in the world of models there are much trickier jobs - this tutorial might be quite hard for some people, but then others might think it's baby stuff. In the end, it's just a tutorial on one way of getting lights fitted to this particular model.

Hi where did you get the lighting kit from please ?
Very good tutorial, but far too difficult for a "wrong side of 80 modeller" like myself.
it did flash
Hi how much would you charge for putting lights in my loco thanks
Does anyone know any way of fitting a Lima 37 with directional lighting in DC? Any help appreciated.
Send me a PM. I can send you a schematic.
whats a center head code and a split head code
Nice video but if purchase a DCC loco with sound I will make sure it comes with lights fitted.
Is there a train soundtrack in the background or am I just tripping ??
Haha well noticed! It's a sound effect of an industrial warehouse/workshop. In silence I felt the video lacked a bit of atmosphere but music seemed a bit... not quite right. So I thought the sound effect was worth a go.
InterCity82 Yeah I think it was a great to be honest, it gave the video some theme. I think you should do something like that in your model reviews, especially if you can find the sound for the loco your revewing!!
was ot just me 6:56 see the light flash on ??
Model Railways yeah I saw that as well might have been reflection from a lamp or something.
KyleZombii ywah it really.confused me I was like huh ??
It's just a reflection as the ends are so polished and there were several spot lights lighting up the work area :)
InterCity82 oh right haha :)
im suddenly struck with the urge to fit lights to my 37/97
Go for it! If you need help with anything, just let me know!
Hi IC82 do you know of a way to fit lighting to a original Lima version in DC.
anyway great video!
What was all that squeaking and banging in the background?
Haha it was just an industrial workshop sound effect. I can try music next time but it's not gonna be possible to please everyone with roughly 1/3 of people saying leave it quiet, 1/3 saying have sound effects and 1/3 saying have music lol lol
it really sounded like someone was working on something in or around the house
47/48th
Awesome vid
We did this ages ago with our Lima Class 50 ua-cam.com/video/pCVJ8566moA/v-deo.html just never got round to making a how to video on it, good job mate!
NICE VIDEO! Can I share it on the IC82 social media if that's okay?
Of course, that would be awesome mate!
If your going to do instructional videos you need to get the info correct so if anyone follows your direction they dont blow anything. BLUE is pos+ and not common "neutral" whatever thats supposed to be.
Thanks for reading my letter you can contact me by Facebook (James Rippard) Great video.
Thanks for the comment!
oil what ever is squeeking had to stop watching as it was a pain where was you in a lift shaft
hahaha okay so one for one against
