I opted for white led's as I am getting a tad bored with yellow (or my eyes are getting worse?) Any way Patience being the most important attribute to modelling (just my opinion?) I played around with a few idea's and did not want wire, led's and resistors all hanging around like spaghetti so I used bread board, I believe that's what it's called, 20 thou plastic sheet with a 60 thou strip added to give it support I wanted a minimum of wiring showing when the roof is off, and I believe that was accomplished by 20 thou pretty much hiding over 90% of it all. The outside lamps are simple shaped and fed through and soldered to the bread board and a spot of super glue just for good measure.
When all is working a quick spray of matt black and that pretty much hides the wires to the outside lamps.
By the way they are running a 9 volts dc.
Because of the light and conduits I had to make some (on the job) modifications to the removable roof supports.
You can see the flues for the smoke.
Just so you can see the loco name .Wheldale.
Looking first rate I like the colour or leds gives the Scene an atmospheric look.
