On my DCC systems I use primarily LED's, very easy to hook up and the new golden whites are very realistic. If you want to use bulbs, use 14 or 16 volt bulbs and you do away with alot of circuitry issues. The reasons I have changed to LED's are two fold: <br />1. Longer Life <br />2. Cooler Operating Temp (bulbs will melt plastic if they get hot) <br /> <br />If you're interested in LED's contact Scale Rail Graphics. <br /> <br />www.scalerailgraphics.com <br /> <br />Their LED's come with a simple wiring diagram for DC and DCC and the correct resistors. (minor soldering required) <br />Good Luck! <br />
