White LEDs are typically 3.3V and 20ma. The 12V LEDs are not really 12V, they just already have a dropping resistor installed.

Just putting in an LED with resistor for 12V won’t give the desired results. It won’t be bright until 12V but then you’ll be going full...

Still the odd bit to do I think but it is as good as I am going to get it: This thread will probably become my general locomotive...

If you or anyone has an extra 'Los Angeles' I could use one for my HO model of MRL 7544. It only had it on the conductor's side.

Lots and lots and lots of tweaking and a little dumb luck! I’ve since installed Railpro into the Kato’s so now they run with a third...

I recently took this rebuilt GP30, now GP39E BN designation, from Oregon to a show in Indiana. This model is about 20 years old now and...
