Good point!!!! I think.

make sure you let the air out so they last longer in storage ;)

A daisy chain will work, but you will need a resistor, as you intend to shove 12V or about 1.25 amps down a set of diodes that each need...

The ones I noted earlier are 2 led (red/green) units with three wires.

yes, exactly that. I was thinking I would, for example, have 4 reds and 2 greens activated when I throw the switch one way, and 2...

Thanks for that. On my small layout, my plan is to install maybe 6 signals around the tracks, and I'll likely have them each...

Ok, with a 12 vac power supply I would start with a 1K ohm resistor. If they are too bright and glare then increase to 1200 ohm, etc...

nope, doesn't matter. With AC they will basically be turning on and off 60 times a second, but your eyes won't notice it.

So these will run off of AC voltage then, or AC or DC or does it matter?

I'm just planning for the future so they will be LED's. But something like this style;

So I just need to throw a 150 ohm resistor on a 12vac supply wire then?

I'm planning a new small layout and like the look of those little 2 or 3 color dwarf signal lights. While most use them in conjunction...

As a follow-up, I'm in the process of tuning up the limited rolling stock I inherited, plus recent additions of used cars purchased at a...

Slack sounds

If you every stood beside a freight train when they first start moving, you'd hear all the slack being taken up at each coupling with an...
