So..... my first LED and Paint project. I wanted some experienced suggestions. There’s a lot of options (size, volts, switches, batteries, etc) in the LED world.

I’m a police officer and an Imperial player. I’m wishing to turn my Decimator into this more or less:

Painting the middle white, side wings black with a white “POLICE” and “DIAL 911”.

The LED project is of course lights! Not much. Either one red light inside a plastic cherry light on top, OR MAYBE one red/ one blue. Both flashing.

Thoughts? Thanks! 😁

I’m browsing on Evan Designs (modeltrainsoftware.com)

I’m thinking a 1.8mm LED Red Normal Flash. 8” of wire.

A watch battery should be fine to run it. Suggestions on battery holder or how to install?

I’d make it easy on yourself and get a battery holder from Evan Designs as well to fit a CR2032.

Done!

Cherry light flashes!!
