    This is a great series of showing what you do to these locos..Some meticulous work there!!.....Picked up many tips from these.! The fiber optic strand inserted into the ditch light housing very cool

    Can't wait to see you make the lenses.

      You might be surprised at how simple that process is. Stay tuned...

    Great build Dan, the 40 is coming along nicely. Do you have a parts list for all the detail parts you have added throughout the build?

    • @tsgmultimedia
      @tsgmultimedia  7 років тому +1

      Dan mentions all the parts specifically - manufacturer and part numbers - when he uses them throughout the series.

    Nice work Dan, I want to get away from incandescence's myself and into led's more as I've found that incandescence's burn out quickly & draw way too many amps, especially on sound decoders....

    When you show the final episode, could you include a parts list for the entire build? Maybe that could be an episode in itself? Can't. wait to see the final model.

    • @tsgmultimedia
      @tsgmultimedia  8 років тому +1

      That sounds like a good idea but perhaps not a necessary one, since all the parts are mentioned specifically when they are used in each episode when Dan does the action for which the parts were required...?

    Me too! Same as WestCoastRails! :-)

    These are Micro-Litz LED's. I use them frequently myself and have always found great prices on them

    • @atsf3780
      @atsf3780 8 років тому +1

      Another easy way to test these LED's is to just use a button cell battery. No resistor needed

      Excellent - Thanks for watching!

    Finally, a video that tells me where to run the wires! Also, would it work to paint the ditch light castings before installing the leds?

    Notice horses on the ditch lights .

    I use regular bulbs for lights, Is it the same process as LEDs?

    • @tsgmultimedia
      @tsgmultimedia  8 років тому +1

      Not sure I would try using bulbs with Dan's method of lighting
      1) with heat shrink tubing encasing them or 2) with fiber optics
      ...because bulbs generate heat. With heat shrink tubing around them, that heat would be trapped, causing even more heat which could melt the tubing and/or the end of the fiber optic strand. Having a small electrical fire inside your locomotive might look interesting, but nothing good can come from that. :))

    • @jonathanbaker4936

      Otherwise it is similar with bulbs.
