Tinkering with the Baby Trainmaster

[jbrock27]

To answer one question.  I went on ebay and found a company called Lighthouse something or other... They had LEDs with the blinking circuit built right into a 3mm LED, for 60 cents a piece, including shipping.  I may adding a blinking red light to the top of a structure or something.

Thank you JV.  That would have been my question, and don't call me Shirley, LOL 

tricking out a rolling refrigerator was just a diversion

I'm with Jon on this one, to quote a very old movie that I can't seem to remember the name of at the moment, "You can't beat Steam"

So do the lights blink alternately. I bet it's cooling looking in a dim room. I like the weathering job. Looks good. Hey Mr. Bach Man, please tell corparate to bring back the H16-44

Never saw that movie, but hey, whatever makes your wheels go 'round. 

On Winter Break from school?

The lights are not in sync. So, they will wink together then, after a bit they will alternate.

Thanks, I enjoyed going heavy on the weathering. These were fun to tinker with.

Edit: Also, just now saw the other comment, chalk it up to me being tired. Yeah, I'm on break from school at the moment. Working on next semesters schedule currently.

Seems a lot of quoting going on here. Which brought John Lennon to mind "So this is Christmas and what have you done"? seems on this particular topic a lot of beaching and complaining. YIKES alert the press Jonathan added two blinking lights to a PRETEND diesel locomotive. Really gentlemen? I come to Bachmann's forum for advice and ideas. Not useless criticism. Jonathan by far has the coolest, detailed, most interesting layouts I follow. It is so exciting to watch his new layout grow. He's almost anal in the details which I find awesome. Who else paints mono fish line to string from pole to pole? I have an 8 year old Grandson who I am introducing to MRR. We are following Jonathan as he is starting over. We are not getting crazy (yet) on going big however I hesitate bringing my grandson onto this site. I want this to be a positive learning tool not a place I need to preview prior to him reading the replies. If someone ask for advice well expect more than one opinion but when a guy is just messing around waiting for his plastercloth to dry and shares a cool thing........ I think the spirit of Christmas just was lost. Hesitant to wish Happy New Year to you all might spark another negative rant. John also said "Give peace a chance".

Would it be possible to do something like that for ditch lights. Looks good, would love to see a shot of them working.

[jbrock27]

Check YouTube.  Have come across someone installing them; just don't remember if they flash or not.  The video included a list of parts as well.
