Title: Inexpensive LED Dwarf Signals
Post by: halrey on October 26, 2014, 11:16:29 AM

I found these LEDs at All Electronics, the red ones are 5 for .75 cents. The LED is 3mm in size. I just rounded the top of the mount casing and added a shade that I cut from brass tubing.  They measure about a HO scale foot wide and 2 feet tall, a little large for HO but they could pass in some locations.  They would be fine in O scale.
The last shot is an HO figure.

There is obviously no prototype for these.

Hal,

Those are really fantastic looking. To bad they don't come in bi-color/bipolar.

Thanks for sharing. They do have HO possibilities.

Tom:

They do have a red/green bipolar led 3mm. I just checked the site. Those would work in N scale and you could probably use them in HO scale in the background.

Bob,

Thanks for the info, I must have missed them. I'll check again and maybe give them a try!
