Jeremy:

Once you install your white leds for your headlights, check to see if they look bluei***o you. Many of the less expensive white leds have a bluei***int to them. Some people like their locomotives looking like a Mercedes Benz coming down the rails, while others don't. If your leds look blueish and you want to get rid of some of that blue, wipe the tip of the led with an orange permanent marker or testor orange paint stick, or dip the led into orange glass stain. Do it very lightly each time until you get the white you are looking for.

If you looking for a circuit to use to power the LED, look in the April 2000 edition of Model Railroader. The circuit described in the article I have used many times and works great, a nice constant glow.

If you don’t have it, e mail me at [e-mail] and I will give you the details.
