This is following on from the previous thread about worst Loco's for testing.


Hi Peter, I have a 3001 that someone has done that to. The bulbs don't glow brightly, but I READ SOMEWHERE THAT is the result of running the lights through the reverse unit.????[ cant remember exactly ]

This 3080 never had lights in the first place,. It is a pretty basic model. It has holes where the light diffuser was fitted. I was wondering if LED's could be fitted like my 37645 which has really bright little LED's. Does anyone know where I can get them, and also know how I can wire them up safely so that don't get fried with the reversing pulse.
I am hoping to be able to get these little LED's to fit in the light sockets 3 white front and rear and 2 red front and rear. Would be nice to put a flashing light on top as well. Surely there must be some way of doing this to analogue locos, without going to the expense of converting them all to digital .


I would also like to replace the bulbs in the 4001 with LED's, to get rid of the dull lights.
