ukmodeller Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 (edited) Hi Guys For those who have looked at the pictures of my finished Cityliner coach with lighting photo's HERE and wondered how it can be done, I have uploaded some build pictures onto FLICKR which can be found HERE Hopefully it will give others an idea of what is involved and how, with a little patience and thought, lights can make a kit more realistic. Kevin More pictures to follow.............. Edited October 21, 2019 by ukmodeller Renew pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukmodeller Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 I am impressed! Where did you get the blue strip lights for the roof and floor? B Actually the 'blue' lights are white(ish) but appear blue because of the tinted windows. I bought them from here: http://www.elwirecraft.co.uk/ They are not cheap as you have to buy a driver/inverter to use with them but the effect is good and you can run more than one cable from one driver/inverter.

busnproplinerfan Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Just stumbled on this, love the bus. What light set did you get? I went through the site and it's a bit confusing. They don't give to much dimensions or suggest ideas. I don't want to but the wrong set since my dollar is so bad to the pound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the lights are 2mm and 3mm LED's which I mainly purchased from Ebay. The lights along the side are just rectangular LED's. Since building this kit I have found a new type of wire to use (Kynar) which is really thin and is far easier to conseal. I found that on the US Ebay site there was far more choice of LED's, etc, and they seemed far cheaper than on the UK site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busnproplinerfan Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 What did you use for carpeting? unless I missed it somewhere. I have that bus, so I'm really looking into this build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
