That's a lot of leds!
A colored assortment like this would probably work well.http://cgi.ebay.com/1206-SMD-LEDs-red-yellow-white-blue-green-each-20pcs_W0QQitemZ190263888163QQihZ009QQcategoryZ66954QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem
Sorry...No spare AC here...
Thanks guys ill put your inputs as first proirity the second one...how to solder these bad boys in a set.... if you are wondering why,...well have you heard of the Canadian Pacific's Holiday Express?
well i want to build that in N-scale.
so uh any one want to donate a CP AC4400CW?
Army National Guard E3MOS 91BI have multiple scales nowZ, N, HO, O, and G.
Litchfield Station and Richmond Controls are two DCC suppliers that I know of who supply SMT LEDs with six inch leads already soldered to the LED. In a previous response in this thread, the lower light is the one with a six inch lead soldered to the LED. The LED is a Golden White 0.06" X 0.03" or 1.5mm X 0.76mm. Dig out your caliper. The resistor in the photo is 1k, the resistor most commomly used for LEDs on DCC decoders.
Link to someones photo of a 603 LED with leads.

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.
You can also get many flavors of LEDs from Jameco (www.jameco.com) and Digikey (www.digikey.com). 1206 (1.6 x 3.2mm) and 0805 (1.25 x 2.00mm) are some of the smallest. I have to say, I can solder 1206 pretty well, but 0805 are very hard to work with using a normal soldering iron. There are smaller LEDs too - 0603; I can't imagine trying to hand solder those.

Try http://www.ngineering.com/. They have some really small led's.

Here is a comparison of a 1.2mm, 1.5 volt lamp with a SMT LED. The lamp voltage is 1.55 volts and 9.4ma. Very little heat. The lamps come from www.led-switch.com.
The LED is a SMT LED from Litchfield Station. 12.4 volts DC, 1 k resistor, 12.24ma.
I bought some on Ebay Look up SMD LED

Here are a lot of possiblities. I use SMT LEDs from Litchfield Station.

Check with one of the electronic suppliers like Mouser. http://www.mouser.com They'll have more surface mount LEDs than you'll know what to do with.

Well ive been hunting for some Micro LED's.
you know the ones that are commonly found on a motherboard, or used in some n-scale police or emergency vehicles...
if im right, they are like 1mm X 1mm? that and a 3mm LED wont work.... (also i do alot of work with LEDS so definitely not a novice ;) )
also if it helps they are flat, and they are surface mount.
if i am confusing you all tell me cause i myself am confused (cause i cant seem to find any!!)
