Even though my workbench is currently the dining table in the motorhome work continues.

I’ve been busy making working ground lights and step lights.  The current approaches to these lights up until now may well be vastly improved by using these ready to install or basic kit fixtures.

Twelve fixtures on a sprue, a section of fiber optic with or without 0402 warm white LEDs will be available in packages also.  
 

The fixtures are accurate in size and come with a 0.0135” hole through the vertical axis that allows a 0.010” fiber optic strand to be inserted.

Step Light

Where did you manage to find a step light? Would it be possible to post a photo with a ruler. I need to design some step and ground lights for my 1/29 project.

Step light is

about 2500 miles away at the moment Craig.  When I get back home in the spring I’ll do it.

Wreck train

Working on my version of BM 77 “wreck train”. 

http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=2842556

 

Like the prototype it’s a Frankenstein. Donors are: Tichy flatcar kit, Bowser caboose (came with every detail part broken), Branchline boxcar (a very poorly done kit build by me).

Thanks for the heads up!  Definitely my mistake!  Good thing I got some band-aids!
