Pretty much as the title of the video suggests, feel free to follow this tutorial on how to fit an Express Models lighting kit to the Hornby TTS Sound Class 37/97. The loco was sent in by my friend Dan who loved the model's diesel sounds but was less than impressed with the lack of lighting. A short stay at Crewe Works rectified this without too much trouble.

I recognise the ambience of the offshore rig from Tomb Raider 2 in the background of this video. That was a good addition, so it sounds like a works.

@befrank88 7 лет назад

Good to see Crewe Works back..... Excellent video

@InterCity82 7 лет назад

Thank you!

@callumnicolson9984 7 лет назад

Great video, good to see regular videos again. Looking forward to the APT project

@InterCity82 7 лет назад

Thanks for the comment! YES! Craig is going to upload part 2 of that and maybe part 3 as well, at Christmas.

@SimonsShed 7 лет назад

Nicely explained / demonstrated, I always find it nerve-wracking fiddling with the electrics on expensive locos!

@InterCity82 7 лет назад

Hey Simon! Great channel and great videos! Would it be okay to share your channel on social media and maybe as part of a video too? Love what you do and keep it up! Good point on the wiring too - it can be quite stressful - definitely a good idea to start with a few tester models first haha

@SimonsShed 7 лет назад

InterCity82 Thanks Will, of course it's OK, share away!

@MrBnsftrain 7 лет назад

I liked this model, ever since you posted the first video of it! It's been so long, I forgot it didn't have lights!

@InterCity82 7 лет назад

Doesn't it look good with them?!

@chriswalker2858 4 года назад

Well made video, easy to follow thanks

@littlegwr8234 7 лет назад

now i know how to fit lights thanks for the vid ic82!!

@itloon 6 лет назад

For Crewe Works. Well made tutorial. Am ordering a DC version of the lights, for a Lima class 37 from the same supplier. This is an option I never expected for old Lima engines. Alan.

@thecakecadet8450 7 лет назад

very nice job. the lights look great :)

@InterCity82 7 лет назад

Thanks for the comment!

@bigfella1952 6 лет назад

Great informative video.....showing every detail.....giving me the confidence to have a go myself... Would like to see a video on soldering and heat shrink in detail if you can recommend one... eg.how to solder such small wires ..prevention of damage to other parts ..heat shrinking etc

@stevedunningduckinggiraffe6296 5 лет назад

9 people didnt like it? What's not to like?!! Beautifully made, very useful well done!

@InterCity82 7 лет назад

Thank you!

@stevenbonneville1045 7 лет назад

Very interesting and informative- I'm glad that all of my HO have the required lighting but not DCC (expensive) and my N scale, well you get the picture (too difficult), they all the head/ditch/tail lights and some interior lighting that I put in the coaches, but no sound. Nice going there Craig, and you too - camera man Will ;)

@InterCity82 7 лет назад

Thanks for the comment!

@hovermotion 7 лет назад

Express models are very good a unique shop with a fantastic service.

@mickjames73 7 лет назад

Hallo Will (and Craig) great to see the works again. These are quite useful vids so please do more when possible. It appears that blacking the inside front slightly darkens the outside paintscheme, though may not notice when body is back on chassis

@naveendinakaran5656 7 лет назад

lovely video

@albietros70 7 лет назад

great video very well done great work

@InterCity82 7 лет назад

Thank you!

@robertgates7686 6 лет назад

Nice video, I am just working on my conversion at the moment. I have not read all the comments but it is wise after making any alterations to your loco or decoder to see if you can still read the loco address on your programming track prior prior to attempting to power up the loco on your main track. If you cannot read it then it is likely your wiring is wrong. If you place it on the main track having been unable to read the address on the progamming track then you will probably blow your decoder. Done that, got the T shirt.

@Reading_Modeler 2 года назад

more of an American train fan but damn! i love class 37s and 08s

@intercity-mq6qv 7 лет назад

its lovely but can those litting werk with class 58 in dc

@Stupid_ahhhh_pilot 2 года назад

Lllloooovvvveeee your intro

@Bigdavedjbigdavedj 6 лет назад

Hi how much would you charge for putting lights in my loco thanks

@johnkennetharkwright699 7 лет назад

Hi Will As usual Craig has shown a lovely 'How To', but can you ask Craig when he will conclude part 2 of his APT upgrade, cheers.

@BritishRail60062 7 лет назад

Looks a lot better with lights I think :). Ash.

@technickuk 7 лет назад

Great tutorial, only thing missing for me was a close-up of the soldering of the wires onto the chip on the chassis. I find soldering tricky, so this would help me at least.

@Electra_1203 7 лет назад

Nick Russell I found soldering difficult too until I got a demonstration at school. Once you practice, it becomes dead easy.

@InterCity82 7 лет назад

Thanks for the feedback. The next time I do a video featuring soldering, I'll be sure to focus on the soldering. A lot of it is down to practice and confidence. Start with basic jobs first and then move on to more technical ones. Just play, basically! :)

@annaolson1153 6 лет назад

whats a center head code and a split head code

@Synthematix 5 лет назад

1: paint the sides of the leds to avoid light bleed, 2: cab lights are warm white not yellow/orange

@ollychap1985 7 лет назад

did the lights work in the right direction with the motor ? I had trouble with a hornby TTS decoder and an express models lighting kit . the lights being in the opposite direction to the the motor. so I had the tail light on when going forward

@InterCity82 7 лет назад

They did indeed work in the correct direction. If you have found the wrong ones are lighting up depending on the direction it's going in, it will be down to wiring. It could either be wiring you have done or wiring on the lighting kit - but swapping the wires over where they've been twisted together will sort it. If you need any further help, let me know!

@ollychap1985 7 лет назад

InterCity82 thanks for the offer but I got so frustrated with the model I sold it on eBay. I was asking as I might have another go with a different TTS model. It will be good to be able to get the TTS decoders as a separate item to upgrade your old locos

@daddy4evercool295 7 лет назад

Very good video Will, very well explained, can you tell me if there is a website for lighting for Lego models, thanks Will, take care

@InterCity82 7 лет назад

Thanks for the comment! I'm not sure about the Lego ones but I know you can buy lights from Lego directly.

@georgiebambro1762 7 лет назад

Good vid

@InterCity82 7 лет назад

Thanks!

@georgiebambro1762 7 лет назад

InterCity82 it is so handy

@philkyle8919 7 лет назад

Hi where did you get the lighting kit from please ?

@StewartBarnard 7 лет назад

Evening will, Craig another fantastic video would this this be the same principal for a class 47 with TTS sound ?

@InterCity82 7 лет назад

I should think the process would be almost identical. I bet inside the models it's a very similar set-up.

@StewartBarnard 7 лет назад

ok will, thanks very much please feel free to have a visit of my channel.

@jamesbradford4550 7 лет назад

cool

@nathanielhull4930 7 лет назад

Nice video again Will, very useful and looking to those vids on the weekend:) Is there a proper vid on Friday aswell?

@InterCity82 7 лет назад

It went up yesterday - and I'm gonna do a quirky little one today as well.

@nathanielhull4930 7 лет назад

+InterCity82 I have watched it very much enjoyed it and looking forward to tonight video aswell

@thattrainguy 7 лет назад

Does anyone know any way of fitting a Lima 37 with directional lighting in DC? Any help appreciated.

@marcelodt 6 лет назад

Send me a PM. I can send you a schematic.

@DarrenHickeyhornbyGWR 7 лет назад

@InterCity82 7 лет назад

Thank you!

@tedleese1556 7 лет назад

Thanks very much for this video, Followed your instructions and it worked, except the direction of the lights were the wrong way so just swapped the wires over, All ok. I am really pleased with my 37 now and I think this same kit might fit the horny TTS sound 47class so will probably try it. Thanks again. Really Useful Video . Ted

@ItzDecster 7 лет назад

IC82! there's a game online called TrainStation its on a website called Pixel Federation its free to make an account you can use you google account and you start in the steam age and progress to the diesel age and so on its really cool i think you should check it out

@radinka9824 7 лет назад

it did flash

@turbochargedtractionproduc8073 7 лет назад

i fitted ditch lights to my 56!

@InterCity82 7 лет назад

Nice!

@turbochargedtractionproduc8073 7 лет назад

InterCity82 omg You replied for the 3rd time! Am I dreaming???

@jasonfernee2401 2 года назад

Great video and explanation, but with my mince pies not tip top and having fat fingers, I think it best to get a pro to do it.

@spadesofpaintstudios1719 7 лет назад

I never thought adding lights would be difficult

@InterCity82 7 лет назад

Everything's relative really, in the world of models there are much trickier jobs - this tutorial might be quite hard for some people, but then others might think it's baby stuff. In the end, it's just a tutorial on one way of getting lights fitted to this particular model.

@rongoodwin4053 2 года назад

Very good tutorial, but far too difficult for a "wrong side of 80 modeller" like myself.

@97badwolf 7 лет назад

Is there a train soundtrack in the background or am I just tripping ??

@InterCity82 7 лет назад

Haha well noticed! It's a sound effect of an industrial warehouse/workshop. In silence I felt the video lacked a bit of atmosphere but music seemed a bit... not quite right. So I thought the sound effect was worth a go.

@97badwolf 7 лет назад

InterCity82 Yeah I think it was a great to be honest, it gave the video some theme. I think you should do something like that in your model reviews, especially if you can find the sound for the loco your revewing!!

@davidhylands4555 7 лет назад

Nice video but if purchase a DCC loco with sound I will make sure it comes with lights fitted.

@GWRailFan 7 лет назад

was ot just me 6:56 see the light flash on ??

@MrJayb988 7 лет назад

Model Railways yeah I saw that as well might have been reflection from a lamp or something.

@GWRailFan 7 лет назад

KyleZombii ywah it really.confused me I was like huh ??

@InterCity82 7 лет назад

It's just a reflection as the ends are so polished and there were several spot lights lighting up the work area :)

@GWRailFan 7 лет назад

InterCity82 oh right haha :)

@Blackwater66 7 лет назад

What was all that squeaking and banging in the background?

@InterCity82 7 лет назад

Haha it was just an industrial workshop sound effect. I can try music next time but it's not gonna be possible to please everyone with roughly 1/3 of people saying leave it quiet, 1/3 saying have sound effects and 1/3 saying have music lol lol

@Blackwater66 7 лет назад

it really sounded like someone was working on something in or around the house

@2TATrains 7 лет назад

We did this ages ago with our Lima Class 50 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pCVJ8566moA.html just never got round to making a how to video on it, good job mate!

@InterCity82 7 лет назад

NICE VIDEO! Can I share it on the IC82 social media if that's okay?

@2TATrains 7 лет назад

Of course, that would be awesome mate!

@InterCity82 7 лет назад

Go for it! If you need help with anything, just let me know!

@thattrainguy 7 лет назад

Hi IC82 do you know of a way to fit lighting to a original Lima version in DC. anyway great video!

@jamesrippard4998 7 лет назад

Thanks for reading my letter you can contact me by Facebook (James Rippard) Great video.

@InterCity82 7 лет назад

Thanks for the comment!

@ia6pot 6 лет назад

If your going to do instructional videos you need to get the info correct so if anyone follows your direction they dont blow anything. BLUE is pos+ and not common "neutral" whatever thats supposed to be.
