EDDIE MC VEA

Been doing another bit, both units now on the chassis,lighting checked,a few more lights to fit,I will solder all the wires for a good contact, before closing all up, I have left off any thing that can be damaged with my clumsy fingers until the end, doors and wing mirrors,glazing etc, next step is detail painting and finishing, have started polishing with a drop of good car wax giving a great finnish. Also all the equipment needs to be done and fitted. This project is for my own pleasure with a few additions that don't represent the real thing, having trawelled the net there are many different variations, including the addition of a flashing blue on the telescopic flood light.

Hi found this link for stacks of detail photos of all the equipment etc, might be of some use to you, keep up the good work. https://www.facebook.com/pg/Schlingmann112/photos/?ref=page_internal Eddie

keep checking, especially under model railway sales etc, those links were the best value I could find at the time,obviously very popular,

Hi I have started a post ref the same kit,ref installing leds/smds etc (simple way no soldering etc, all pre-wired and resistors to the voltage that you will be using,recommened 12v for max prightness), check the SALE/AUCTION sites etc there are plenty of different sizes and colours + actions (static/flashing/dual) with micro wires. a couple of links I have used. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Micro-12v-SMD-0805-LEDs-for-Lights-on-Cars-Trains-even-Spaceships-Etc-4pcs/253227830215?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=552340660030&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Cold-WHITE-micro-LED-Lights-2mm-Scenery-Miniature-lighting-train-infinity/282446651677?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pre-Wired-3-LEDs-Strip-Light-2pcs-Self-Adhesive-Flexible-12v-Bright-White/253227553717?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649 keep up the build. I started bottom about face with the rear unit then the main cab, then I will do the chassis, Any queries ref lighting send me a message, I will follow your build & you can following my attempt at lighting, Its good to share what little knowledge we have !!!!!!!! EDDIE

the unit flood light with 6 x micro smds yes thats a pin head side unit area long work strip lights 2 x micro smds

Rather than a build log of the kit (which is excellent), I have a few pics and tips ref to the fitting out with LED & SMD lights etc
