Red Rear LED for the New Odakyu Electric Railway 5000 series

0 Replies, 1667 Views

This YouTuber has placed the White LED light with a Red one in a second engine, removed a gear so the battery and switch only works the light to use as a Rear Coach for this newly released train.

Seeing the engine opened up I now can see how they got the LED to work with a 1.5 volt AA battery. I don't understand the language but I am assuming that the little circuit board the LED is attached to is a Voltage booster which at least probably jumps it to 3.0 or 4.5 volts. Can anyone confirm what the fellow is saying? Very well done and similar to what I have done with my Train Suite DX Series. Except my rear is still white lights and they are not LED's. Not sure if a red incandescent, 1.5 volt bulb would illuminate those 2 long lenses but its worth a try. Besides, I have several of the Voltage Boosters that I could then use and run an LED. Oh Boy, more projects Big Grin

The opening up starts at the 1:40 minute mark.
