Hi 31130.

 

Are these the ones you used?    https://www.dccconcepts.com/product/led-nanolight-wresistors-6x-2-colour-protowhitered/

 

If so, how did you wire them up?  Did you take the original ones off, or just glue these on top?  I've not looked at the set-up closely yet.

 

And can they be switched off separately - so that the unit can be used multi-ed up without showing marker lights in the middle of the unit?  If not, I'll have to work out how to do it.

 

Thanks for the comment - I was thinking of larger LEDs and using fibre optics.  This method sounds much better!!

Hi rod, apologies for the delay in reply. Yes they are the ones I used. Drop me a message with your email in and I’ll draw a diagram out for you. Yes they can be switched off seperately for hauling stock for example.

cheers

Just an update to the previous post.

 

It seems there are no red lights fitted to the model.  I found a comment on a Facebook page about a Post Office liveried version saying "no red markers".  Checked with Howes who said there weren't any fitted to the model - this after Rails of Sheffield had checked the replacement they'd put aside for me - also no reds!!

 

So I'm keeping the one I've got - I've run it in, anyway/

 

Also ordered a plug for the speaker from Howes.

Just seen this otherwise I’d have replied sooner! I rather disappointedly found the same thing, no tail lights in the 7mm version yet they managed to squeeze both front marker and tail lights into the 4mm one...

Anyway, I wanted tails in there as well but without having to do lots of making up of new light units.  I solved it by fitting Some dual red/white DCC concepts LEDs glued into the same loactaion as the original ones.  Although they are effectively 2 LEDs glued back to back, the rearmost LED reflects plenty of light back onto the light lens.
