Was chatting earlier today with a modeler up in the north country and we were remarking on how we modelers are living in something of a "golden age" for details, parts and accessories. I remember all too well the "joys" of "microlighting" meaning using 11 or 13mm "grain of wheat" incandescent lamps that could only withstand 1.5VDC, and the tiniest of fractions of voltages above or below that value would see them burnt right out. Typically in direct proportion to how easy they would be to remove to replace.

Warm white doesn't mean gaslight like they were when you were a youngster 🤣 I'm not having a go, because I remember as a kid the street next to mine still had a cobbled road and gaslighting. But yes, I'm in your camp, unless you're trying to model fluorescent or more modern lights, warm is the go. I even paint some LEDs with Tamiya clear orange to warm them even more. Those strip lights look like a nice piece of kit. Cheers!

Thanks Charlie, lighting adds so much to a layout it is well worth the time and expense. With regard to the activator I use the pump pack version rather than the aerosol. Most of the time I won’t spray it at all but open the bottle and use either a pipette or cocktail stick to apply it to the part as only a very small amount is required. Not only safer but less costly 🙂. Thanks again for your videos they are always up there with the very best on RU-vid.

Charlie, During your presentation, you mentioned brightness, even with the lovely warm white LEDs. You may be interested to know that another modeller, (propably known to you), often mentions using Tamiya Acrylic Orange, washed over, to 'dilute' brightness and give the impression of aged incandescent lighting. Quite subtle and rather striking. Hope this is of interest. P.

Another cracking video Charlie. Some really useful advice as far as what adhesive to use and how to use it without 'bonding' a tad too much to the layout. I have to agree that the warm glow LEDs look much better for the sort of period layout that I intend to build when I slither out of the planning phase. Many years ago some boiled sweet lollipop stalks were hollow plastic tubes that would have been useful for small cable trunking but those went decades ago so I'll do some digging on what else is available online. Once again many thanks for sharing.

On light source quantity, the 1:1 landscape architects have taught me that odd numbers of things are more pleasing to the eye. This somewhat contradicts what I was taught as a lighting designer, though (the real world is wacky that way). The warm white colors are going to be more prototypical for layouts set before the last twenty years or so. As anyone going out at night will notice an entire range of light colors in use. To my knowledge, no one (yet) is offering a model solution for the peculiar amber hue of Low-Pressure Sodium lamps, which so many places use for "Dark Skies" compliance.

@steveksi
@steveksi Год назад
With Fluorescent lighting they usually hang from chains each end. It might be cool to use one wire from each light (1+ and 1 -) and hang with them. Then hook the other too poles together. Then add the resistor under the board. It will potentially cut the LED output by half but the resistor can be changed to set luminosity. A gutter along the rear roof line and down-pipes for the wires. Nice video.
@ChadwickModelRailway

You make an excellent suggestion Steve. Regards, Charlie.
@TechyMantis

what might be a good idea is have another resistor to reduce the brightness even more and have them drop down like suspended lights, if possible that is.

Hi Charlie thank you for another interesting video. The lights look very realistic. I obviously didn't look hard enough when looking for pseudo florescent lights.

Great tip with yhe glue. I always use something pointy normally on small stuff. Don't get glue everywhere then. For super glue though I'd recommend CT1. You can get it at toolstation with their activator it's around 10 quid but it's one of the better on the market and you don't get the white bits from the activator

I'm a big fan of Westhill Wagon Works stuff and had some of these before I decided not to light my layout. Having seen how fiddly they are I'm glad, however, they do look good. Re your superglue activator. I don't know what the chemistry is behind it, but a sprinkle of bicarb of soda sets superglue off instantly. Just don't pile it on because it goes rock hard and you'd need to file it back off again. Cheers

Great video, there is another product you can checkout, they are called LED filament lights. They are available in different lengths, and would would look just like florescent lights. You would need a little more technical knowledge (calculating the resistor) to use.
@Steve.M
@Steve.M Год назад
I thought of those too, and I think they could be a really good solution. However, there could also be some difficulties. As far as I know they can’t be cut to length, so you’re stuck with what you can buy. Also, when /not/ lit up, they are bright yellow and quite chunky, so I’m not sure if they’d pass for a bare fluorescent tube. I’d be really interested to know if anyone has had success with them.

Hi Charlie 🙂 Nice little project that. Very clever wee design on those lights and I think they do look highly effective. Once it's all boxed in it will even better. Nice idea adding the pillar for the old Knightwing kit as once painted it will blend in perfectly 😎 As for the brightness, one thing I immediately thought of was this paint used Richard off Everard Junction has used to great effect. I think it is by Tamiya and you just paint it directly onto and LED to tone the light down. It seems to work really well 😃 Cheers Charlie, have a great weekend mate 👍🍻🍀

If you shop around at the friendly chinese shop we all know, you can have them very cheap by the bundle.

For super glue, I recommend Loctite SuperBond Original.. Expensive but excellent.. Great glue for small parts with quick set off. 😉 No need for additional materials with warnings about health.. That Loctite can glue and hold, even, car parking sensor in place.. 😂 Tested one time, because, don't have another glue at home.. Still holding.. You just need to hold it for 30 seconds to set.. But I, usually, hold it longer, if heavy part needs to be glued..

Miniature and sub-miniature LEDs are available in bulk from a number of outlets. Grain of wheat bulbs are also still readily available, however from a cost point of view, they vastly outweigh LEDs, generally a iK resistor is sufficient. If you are conversant with amodicum of electronic knowledge, then this maybe the way forward. Note, too, that LEDs are also available in bar arrays. Charlie's system is of course an option, but in the world of electronics, there are many other ways to achieve lighting.

Another enjoyable video Charlie. Too late for my layout, but food for thought for all those in the early stages of planning. Certainly some good pieces of kit out there and I have purchased a few bits from West Hill and they are very very good quality. Always look forward to your videos, most entertaining. Cheers Kevin

Ive been experimenting with a Western Welsh Atlantean. 372 (aka LR2669 in new money). Fitted LEDs to the inside upper and lower decks, Scalextric pickup on the base and a length of Scalextric track to which the power is delivered as the road in the bus station scenario. Guessing Warm White would represent the Tilling / BET era bulb lighting whilst Cool White would emulate the NBC era flourescents.

Dear Charlie, some cool strip light appendages made by Westhill Wagon Works. Wonder though if in this case fiber optic lights would have been a better choice. Don’t know for sure, think I saw a vid from Steve Muskoka on this very subject a while ago. Anyhow, the prewired leds are of course handy. However, to mount these lights it may be more appropriate to go the other way round. So, drill a hole for the led instead of the resistor. Nevertheless, a very cool product and great explanation from yourself. Oh, and instead of activator, you could try a tiny pinch of baking soda on the superglue. Cheerio
@ChadwickModelRailway

Thanks Vincent, is the baking soda, in powder or liquid form? Regards Charlie

Charlie, another great video. I know there are 2 camps, to light, or not to light. I firmly believe that lights do "brighten" a layout (sorry, coundn't resist), and give some great effects for night running, if your layout area allows. Getting the lights to be prototypical, and not agricultural is a big challenge. These battens from WestHill look great, pity the postage to Australia far out weights the value of the product, oh well. Maybe an Australian reseller will come along. Cheers, and stay safe, Michael

Indvidual LED's in a properly designed housing are great. The other option is what is called COB (chip on board) strips, which look more like a solid light than individual leds on a strip. COB's are a bit diffused also. LED's are available in so many colours these days, Warm white, cool white, natural white, and all range of colours. They have become a really versatile lighting option. I think it is worth cutting off the moulded fake lights, just to make it look neater. The lights on the back look like something that would not be out of place on a fueling shed of that age. You could even remove the dummy lights without any touch up paint, makes it look like the lighting was upgraded at some point in its life.

I’m with you Charlie in my preference for warm white lighting, it’s really authentic for replicating incandescent light bulbs. But I do think the old fluorescent tube lights had a bluer white tint, and these I think are better modelled using cool white or neutral white LEDs. I’m working on replicating the old low pressure sodium lamps, including their startup characteristics.

Interestingly for activation of superglue with less risk I have in the past used a spray of IPA. Also you can activate it with Baking soda but that makes an Exothermic reaction that turns very cloudy and hard and gets slightly warm to the touch (I've used it as a basing material for Miniatures in the past.

Good day Charlie, I love this idea of pre-installed resistors. It makes the installation just that much easier. And calculating the correct resistance can be a mathematical pain for me.🤬 A couple things as for glueing up the batten this appears to be the perfect time to use, or buy a new, EXTRA HAND SPIDER device. The perfect time to convince the wife I must buy this tool.😢 Then for the wiring what about a scale "U" channel painted and horizontally along the roof ridge. As a rain gutter. With a scale round tube vertically from the gutter as a down spout. Finally thread the wires through the gutter and downspout to the under roadbed accessories trunk line.🤔. You would have to extend the wire to travel the distance. But that's for another episode.😊 Just a thought. Jim in N.Y., U.S.A.

I wonder if it makes a difference if you wouldn’t glue the diffuser. The glue obviously isn’t required for the thing to stay put. One interesting tidbit about CA glue; it goes of in reaction to moisture. I.e. You don’t need an expensive accelerator. The moisture in your breath should suffice (especially directly after a sip from a cuppa). An alternative is to moisten the surfaces you’re going to put the glue on.

Fantastic video Charlie. I wonder if there is a way of making a more opaque diffuser. Both "dimming" the lights and dissipating the light across the bar. Maybe a very thin, white strip of polystyrene card? This video is going to be extensively watched when I get to the buildings and scenery installation.

I always use a bit of an orange / yellow paint (acrylic) and color the LED myself. I've done this and then glued to the back of a Athearn lens. Also same procedure but using the cut off lens end of a burned out bulbous style LED. I usually just paint white LED's red for tail end markers as well. Have not had issues and have used multiple coats plus clear coat. So don't be too dismayed if you find your LED not quite the warmth you want. You can try painting them.

Very nice lighting Charlie. The LEDs have a glare even with the diffuser they have supplied. It may be because when you tilt it to show in the camera, it is more prominent. May be you could reduce the brightness with a larger resistor so that it sort of blends with the rest of the surroundings. Just a thought.
@ChadwickModelRailway
@ChadwickModelRailway Год назад
You make an excellent suggestion, but I think I will have to wait until the whole area is lit, and then dim them down proportionately. Regards, Charlie
@anandadesilva6558
@anandadesilva6558 Год назад
@ChadwickModelRailway As you already have the small resistors for each of them wired, now you can put 1 resistor in one of the supply leads to dim them all at an acceptable brightness. It will need a higher wattage. Yes, you have to make the change after all the rest of the scenery is finished.
