Ditch lights
Posted by BigBlueConrail on Saturday, April 29, 2006 8:34 AM
I have an HO Bachmann HHP-8 acela locomotive with a decoder in it. Is there a way to make the ditch lights flash like on an atlas 8-40cw?

Oooooh yeah![:D]
But you have to chage out the decoder to one that supports ditch lights, then use 1.5 volt bulbs with the proper dropping resistors (usually specified in the decoder literature) to fit the tiny bulbs directly in the ditch light housings.

I put a Digitrax (forgot what number[%-)]) in a Kato 840-cw a few years back,,,,,was toooooo cooool!!!!!
