(Apologies to those who've seen this elswehere) I'm just putting together a top'n'tail engineers train and I wanted to do something a bit different.

Recent trains by my back door have been Freddie 66's and sometimes the reds on the rear loco are on, sometimes there's a battery flashing red on the lamp bracket - and sometimes there's this......

I'm not certain as to why the battery lamp would be in the cab - maybe to stop it going walkies in areas of high pilfering?

Anyway - a simple job to drill out a Springside light to about 1.5mm. File down a red lighthouse tower LED to fit the hole. Mount it via a small piece of paxolin glued to the cab bulkhead.

The internals will later be painted and suitable flashing ouput from the decoder used to power it.
