Hi Glenderg I bought them from Lighthouseleds.com Washington US. They came pre wired with resistors. And will run off 2v up to 14 v. 4.99 dollars for a pack of five. Flashing smds . 0402 or 0603 very small and delicate. Postage was 6 dollars. And I had them in 6 days. Well pleased with them , but you have to be very careful as they are so delicate. Cheers.

Hi lads and thanks for your help. Got 3 vehicles done over the weekend. A small bit tricky, as the wires on the SMD were thinner than a piece of thread. Just 2 more vehicles to go. Another fire engine and a ambulance. And I will be ready to place them on the layout. Cheers. IMG_1495.MOV IMG_1494.MOV

Thanks Enniscorthyman . They were out of 0402 flashing smd on eBay , So I had to buy them in the states. Hopefully they will not take to long to arrive. I am going to power them off my 12v layout. Thanks for your help cheers.

Thanks lads for your reply’s . That’s exactly what I was thinking about. I am after buying very small smds from the states , and bought 4 light bars from eBay, 1.76 scale. Just waiting on the postman to get started. Thanks for your help regards.

Hi I would like to know has anyone tried to put flashing lights on a 1.76 scale model fire engine? I would like to know how you got on. Cheers

Thanks enniscorthyman. For your help.

Hi lads. Could you please tell me how to remove the body from a 071 loco?. As I want to fit a driver into the cab. Thanks for your help regards.

Hi I will have a surplus of Polak 5453 ballast that I wish to sell. I don’t know the exact amount yet but should have at least 15 bags left over, But not 100 percent certain at the moment as I am still ballasting my track. If anyone is interested please let me know. There 240g bags and I will sell for €2.50 each plus postage. Here some photos of the product. Regards .

Thanks lads great info, and a great site. Well done. Cheers.

Thanks Eoin for the great info. What is a pinpoint Oiler? And am I correct in saying that sewing machines oil would be ok to use? Thanks again for your help regards.

Hi lads I have a few Murphy models 071. And would like to know apart from cleaning the wheels is there any other mantance that should be done to the locomotive? Thanks for your help regards.

Yes I see what you mean. That makes perfect sense. Could hide the loop with a building or something similar cheers

I know what you mean Eoin. I will give it one more try and if that do not work. I will have to relay the track again , minus the curves. Thanks a million for your help regards.

Hi Eoin. The chain runs but then pops out of the rail. It’s one rail with 2 return loops at each end. I had all the chain connected up with a temporary road bed on top. No cars. But it keeps popping out of the track. Using 2 motors at the moment
