Fire Engine Lights

[Flying Scotsman 4472]

I am posting this how to on behalf of Train Model due to him having problems with his computer

 

Adding blue flashing lights to your Oxford Fire engine

 

 

 

 

 

 

Remove the body from the chassis by taking out the 2 screws

 

 

 

 

 

Drill out the old blue lights on the model and replace with your blue LEDs

 

 

 

 

 

Drill a hole in the chassis and pass your wires through the hole

 

 

 

 

 

Reattach the body with the screws

 

 

 

 

 

A flashing light unit from a Christmas toy was connected. But you could also use LED's that have a built in flasher
