Hello

From my experience fitting LEDs to 2mm scale signals I have found them to be more than adequate for the purpose. I use warm white surface mount LEDs from HERE and fit them with a variable resistor (under the baseboard) so I can tweak the brightness of them. To get a pin point of light I stick a bit of half round plastic over the front of the LED with a small (0.5mm) hole drilled through it and them paint the whole thing black. There is a bit more detail and pictures on my blog if anyone wants to take a peek.

Hello

I am really enjoying the pictures on this thread, so much so here are a few of mine...

I am always looking for something different.

Hello Jon

I am following this with interest. The most recent photos all look a bit fimilar to me as I have just been doing exactly the same thing on my layout although for point control right now, the signals will come soon. The MERG servo stuff is very useful and so adjustable, I dont know about you but I am very happy with the results.

Hello Dave

I have just stumbled across this and it looks really good so far. The whole track plan comes across as nice and flowing, plus you are making your own track too, thats definately a huge bonus.

Im a bit surprised about your comment on the easitrack though, when I was at Ally Pally on Saturday I saw both bullhead and flatbottomed rail with wooden and concrete sleepers, the concrete sleepers are amazing as they even have 'dowmac' embossed on them! Even with soldering track together in 2mm/N its a vast improvement on the PECO stuff. Your soldering looks fine to me, I think you are being a bit too critical as once its all painted it will look great.

I will look out for this one, shame its diesels though

Hello

That does look absolutely fantastic and great fun to operate too.
