How about these... OK, I know one is a 181....

I decided to fit some taillights to my home-made Dutch generator van. Here's the result... I think I may have mounted them a little high, but anyway... The lights are DCC controlled and I attached pickups on all four wheels to reduce flickering. The pickups are from DCC supplies and are very easy to fit. Testing, testing.... I had some trouble with the Hornby decoders I used in this van and the brake vans I fitted lights to. If there was any sort of break in the current the functions would switch off and have to be turned back on again (this does'nt happen with my other decoders, if you activate the lights and take the loco off the rails when you replace it back on the track whatever function lights you had activated would come back on.) I expected some flickering since I use insulfrog points but the lights going out was just plain annoying! I got around the problem by wiring the lights to the motor output wires on the decoder.

Hello all! New site looks great.... Can I ask is the old site "due to be scrapped"?

Suits me, that's the livery I'm looking for!
