Simple circuit for fire box flicker?
Posted by JWhite on Saturday, January 13, 2018 3:39 PM

Has anyone here done this?  I'd like to mount a micro LED into the firebox of my locomotives for this effect.  I can buy LEDs prewired to flash, but the flash isn't random.

I'm looking for ideas on how to accomplish this.

If you ever fall over in public, pick yourself up and say “sorry it’s been a while since I inhabited a body.” And just walk away.
