And that's a wrap. Well, almost. I need to bump up the amplification on the headlights and decal the model, but other than that, it is finished! The entire point of the exercise was a proof of concept on an accurate modern emergency vehicle lightbar, and boy oh boy did I learn a lot along the way. I'll list those things after the video.

As the prototype of what is sure to be many incarnations to come, I dub this '07 Ford Shelby GT500 my 'Demonstrator'! Please ignore the 8xAA battery pack on the side. Normally, this car can be powered by a 9V that fits nicely into the engine compartment, but I was plumb out of 9V batteries. Yes, there's some in the house smoke detectors, but Murphey's Laws have taught me a thing or two, so I left those 9Vs where they were Anyways, using a 8xAA power supply tested the circuitry against a 12V source, so it's all good!

Seriously cool!

Nice work!  I'll give up the ability for the front to operate separately from the rear for N scale ...

Thanks Gents

Thanks Gents!  And I've got the models for 1/43 and 1/64 setup and ready to go.  I'm on my way to N scale Toni but I've gotta swing by 1/87 first (Just cause Bill asked )
