End of train markers.
Posted by Anonymous on Friday, January 9, 2004 4:43 PM
I would appreciate anyone who could lead me to a supplier that makes L.E.D. end of train lights that I can install in my cabooses. Currently, I am using an alternating, two L.E.D. system that runs off of watch batteries. I want to try a system that uses track power and eliminate the need for batteries. I'm also wondering if I could convert my battery units to rail power. Of course, I realize with the small cost of these rail powered units, that might be an exercise in futility. Any help will be greatly received. May all your signals be, GREEN!

There's a firm down in Benton Harbor Mi (name escapes me) that makes them.

They should be listed in the www.walthers.com reference book. I bot a set
from Walthers Terminal Hobby Shop.

I also use Blinking 2.8 volt LED for a FRED using a SPDT,an Aaa battery hardness and
two Aaa batteries, double sided tape. All from radio shack

Tomar Industries has a Web site which also includes their Utah Pacific and AM Models lines. It includes some O and G scale items. The site isn't the most sophisticated site in terms of graphics and could be improved. The URL is:
