Yes we are on time but this is yesterdays train
QUOTE: Originally posted by cwclark a FRED can be made by using one of those red light blinking coat lapel devices that you pin on your shirt at parties or what not...i saw an article once in MRR (which issue i don't know) that showed how to dissassemble it and re wire it that used some styrene to hold the LED in place and all the electronics are in the rolling stock of your choice..i have one of those blinking red lights that are on a pair of lips that blink but they are my wife's and she won't let me take it apart...i'll find one one of these days and build a scratch built FRED device...chuck

Try Walther's actually the f in fred origionally ,by the crews wasnt called flashing ,seeing how it eliminated 2 jobs it was called fu##ing rear end device ,now its refered to as an e.t.d or end of train device .
