HOW TO ADD LIGHTING TO YOUR OO GAUGE MODEL RAILWAY
I finally got round to adding the lighting to this layout. This video is a step by step guide to installing the lighting explaining what is required and any adaptions you may need to make.
In this video I:
- I explain how to differentiate between the positive and negative wires on the street lights.
- I explain the types of transformers that can be used (3v & 12v) and what you need to do to use each.
- I explain how I used a resistor and what I didn’t to protect it from shorts.
- I explain how I tracked the wires from the 12v transformer, through a switch to terminal blocks.
- I demonstrate how I position the lights and thread the cables through the platform and baseboard together.
- I demonstrate how to wire up the lights to the terminal blocks.
- Showcase the lighting with some daytime and night time running.
