I want to use L.E.D. lights on my O-gauge layout. The layout is completed as far as track is concerned and everything operates correctly. My next step is to install L.E.D. lights that will shine on my control panel when a train is backing up to a dead end to indicate when to shut off the power to the track. I acquired a couple of Mike's Train House indicator boxes but I need a bunch of these and they aren't exactly cheap. What would be less expensive but still effective?

What is the easiest way to wire this? What gauge wire do you recommend? I can buy L.E.D. lights 100 for $12 or 100 bi-polar with the resisters for $30. Which way is the best way to go?

Also, I want to use a constant voltage. I thought about buying one of the transformers that lights up sidewalk lights.
