Models of the British Intercity 125 diesel-electric train are highly desirable. I've always wanted one set, and now I own three Hornby examples. Here, I show you how to install directional lighting into the power and dummy power cars. It's surprisingly simple if you have a basic knowledge of soldering and wiring LEDs. Oh, and don't forget the all-important current-limiting resistor - I use a 1k resistor for all my loco directional lighting installations.

Hi Ashraaq, I was interested in the wiring of the LED and Resistors on the strip board. So my question. Is the board isolated between the holes. Is it possible for a close up of the strip board rear for me to see. I have a few strip boards and found it ideal, after watching your video, to use a piece of strip board. Thanks once again for your review.

Thanks! I'll send you a photo of the strip board I use. The rows of holes are connected in a strip of copper, with isolation between the adjacent rows. So, if you were to place an LED with the positive leg in one row and the negative leg in another row, it will work when you apply power in one direction. Then, when you attach another LED in the opposite direction, that one will light up when you reverse the polarity of the power supply. It is also possible to buy a form of board where each hole is totally isolated, with only a ring of copper surrounding it, to aid soldering. This board allows you to totally make your own connections vertically, horizontally, and diagonally, with solder bridges and bridge wires, but for this application, it's a bit overkill.
