Online since 2002, it's one of the oldest and largest model railroad forums on the web. Whether you're a master model railroader or just getting started, you'll find something of interest here.


I have an electronics background, but a lot of it is just experimenting. I actually want the lights to be a bit dimmer, but making that happen on the other cars would be too much work. I bought the dimmest ones available from this one vendor, but they are still too bright for my liking.

Oh, and forgot to add that having these tools helps a lot. The breadboard allows for experimentation without installation. Just have to have a few sample LEDs, strips, resistors, etc.

The variable voltage dc power supply is one of the most used things on the bench.
