Adding lights to a Hornby buffer stop

This is very easy to do and makes a big difference. I also added a short soldering guide for those of you who may be having problems.

Enjoy.

Thank you thank you! I like your tutorials. I will have to download them all so I have a library of templates when I plan. I do have a question though. I have peel and stick lights, and a few street lights wired up to a terminal strip and ran around a buss. I keep blowing transformers though. I have blown two already. Any suggestions as to why it keeps blowing my transformers?

@Clocksangel Sounds like the transformers are not powerful enough

My layout is DC at the mo, and i won't be converting to DCC enytime soon because I need to raise money, where can I connect the wires to get power from? I've subbed as it's a great video like all of your vids :)

[EverardJunction]

@ModelsandGamesguy Most good DC controllers have a fixed 12v connector on the back. You could run the wires from these.

hi if you connected up say 10 together and then attached the pos and ned wires to a track power clip and insered it would they then get the power they need or to much and blow them p.s could u use a slow blinking LED

[EverardJunction]

@DJROBVSFATBOI You could use a blinking LED if you wanted to. 10 Connected together should be fine without a resistor on 12V.

@toffie702 I attach the 2 wires to the bus wires under the layout

to get the bulb to light up do you just connect the two wiers to the rails so the electric lights the bulb
