An alternative to soldering on wires is to crimp on two female socket pins removed from a standard servo connector.

Fantastic idea!

Peter,
Look at the Snuff MIll Building…the wall light on there is an idea of Max's, a 3mm led pushed through a 3mm washer and the legs bent carefully to form the 'bracket'.

Sorry, didn't realise this is an historic post…..

I'm still following along Doug - albeit very slowly……………

Other "projects" - ideas coming from SWMBO - have taken over much of the spring so far this year so model railways have taken very much of a back seat.

I'm trying to relieve that situation but the external forces are so very powerful ……………………….
 

Have a look at these, Peter. It's on the Ozzie site, but you may be able to get them over there.

HO/OO Scale Ceiling Lamps and Wall Lamps for Model Trains Set of 20 LED Lights | eBay

Thanks Pete.  It seems to be a Chinese site with German verbage !

I'll see if I can find them on either eBay.fr or eBay.dr

Looks like a decent product.

Did you have any luck?

To be honest Pete - I didn't try very hard.  Things have a tendency to move on and the station building I wanted them for has returned to the back-burner for the time being.

Ha ha. Story of my life.

Peter, I'm currently making lamps for my Diesel Refuelling Point layout which might give you some ideas.

Terry

Thanks for the heads up Terry I'll have a look at your ideas. 👍
