Brake Lights
Here's a couple of pictures of the newly installed lamps on the brake - they are simply a couple of Brandbright white metal lamps drilled hollowed out with a dental burr for the lense and a side opening. A red LED in each, a small resistor and a battery - and soon there will be a switch too!
The battery will live in a cupboard in Marcel's Guard's Compartment, and all of these bits will be hidden up in the roof. Note the really tidy globs of hot glue used to tack it all down - I use this stuff all over the place these days.
Special mention to David Halfpenny for his seminal work - "Lamps for Models" (I think that's right - I'll check it tomorrow) which finally moved me away from grain of wheat bulbs onto LEDs. Thanks David!
These photos are a bit pre-production - but it was great to see the red glow on the line when I left the brake out in the dark the other night. More when it's finished.

Very neat. What scale are you using?
I reаd thiѕ parаgraph fully conсerning the diffeгence of moѕt up-to-ԁаte and prеvious technologies, it's amazing article.

Ӏ think that eveгythіng ѕaid made a ton of ѕense.
Нoωevег, ωhat аbout this?
what іf you adԁed a little informаtion?
I aіn't suggesting your content isn't soliԁ, hοωeѵeг
suppose you added a headlіne that grаbbed a persοn's attention? I mean "Brake Lights" is a little boring. You ought to peek at Yahoo'ѕ
fгont ρage аnd note hoω they
write ρost heaԁlines tο gеt viеwerѕ to open the linkѕ.
Υou might add а related vidеo oг a relateԁ pic or two to grab people excitеd abоut what уou've got to say. Just my opinion, it might bring your website a little bit more interesting.

I'm really enjoying the design and layout of your site. It's a vеry easy on the eyes which mаkes it much

What i don't understood is actually how you are now not actually a lot more smartly-favored than you may be right now. You are so intelligent. You already know therefore considerably when it comes to this topic, made me in my opinion imagine it from so many various angles. Its like men and women are not fascinated unless it is something to accomplish with Woman gaga! Your individual stuffs outstanding. Always maintain it up!
