Headlights for 00

The best place for this sort of stuff is Farnell or RS.

Farnell should be reached on:

uk.farnell.com

Look under optoelectronics under \LED\other\ or do search for "LED 2mm" in this category.

Last time I used Farnell, credit card orders are subject to a minimum order of £10.

good advice that thanks

These are high intensity white which is what you need for headlights. To see some examples of them fitted see my website at Nick

have a downloadable catalogue in pdf form. Lots of LEDs in the opto section. IMHO, they're often cheaper than Farnell and almost always cheaper than RS. No minimum order but postage is £3.40 on orders under £25.

Usual disclaimer, I have no connection other than as a satisfied customer.

Hi Nick

I love the lights on the 08 shunter on your front page. How did you do them?

Mike, They are a combination of miniature LED's and fibre optics and can be independently switched on or off. They are quite difficult to fit compared to other locos due to the lack of space!

I see First Class Trains are doing a diesel lighting kit. It looks good - has anyone had any experience with these kits?

TIA, Dave.
