I did it like this: http://www.saebonet.com/svein/Tog/sites/EU/3145.htm Rather simple, as this locomotive has only two lanterns in each end. Next time I will use Ross' idea. My LEDs are too yellow.

Next, you convert the wiring diagram to a linear design, where everything is going "criss cross". For this purpose, I use a normal paper with 5mm square lines. Each cross on the paper illustrates a hole in the test pcb, which normally has a distance of 2,54 mm. That means that the drawing is close to scale 2:1. An example of a small light pcb: I always use a pcb with copper lines and draw them vertically on the paper. If I need to cut one of the copper leads I use a 3 mm drill in a small holder, for careful hand drilling. This has been done under the resistor to the top LED. Example of wiring diagram converted to a drawing, seen from the copper side:

Very good result, Ross. Benny, I was pleased with the results using components I had on hand, I now have lights that are bright and change with the direction.

Svein, All methods are fine as long as you get the results you are after. I just like to keep it simple so I can repeat the results if required.

Originally posted by pa-pauls Hello Ross and Svein Nice conversion on both I think Our member HGH has also another solution on his homepage : http://hgh-esn.ath.cx/ Pål, As stated above all methods have their place, the results are what keeps all of us going. Originally posted by Caplin Very professional, well documented, Svein. Benny, I agree with you, Svein has done a good job with his documentation. Originally posted by intruder Not so difficult, Søren First of all, you have to make a wiring diagram....... Svein, nice job. Originally posted by Hemmerich Hello Ross and Svein Nice conversion on both I think Fully agreed - congratulations! Lutz, Like you I like to document what I have done in my hobby.
