Hornby class 156 LED PCB

[Bas Knippels]

I made a little something for me Hornby class 156. Hornby made some really cheap decisions when they did not even add lights to this model.

 

 

 

 

Click here for a short video of the first test.

 

I disconnected the head lights for eachother so I can do that day night light system they have in Scotland. There is a solder jumper if just want both head lights to work simultaneously. As you can see I also have dim lights. With a different LED and resistor value you should be able to use this PCB for other class 156 liveries as well.

 

I hope that in the comming days I can install the first prototype. I am not yet sure about the second as I recently got me that 153 as well. So the rear may not get lighting afteral.

 

If you are interested in this design. Gerber files can be found here. Source files are also to be found on me github. All components are in 0603 casing for those who want to solder one.

 

Kind regards,
