Custom LED Coach Light Circuit Boards for Model Railroads (set of 3 boards):
$12.00

You are offerding on a set of 3 printed circuit boards that can be populated with LEDs and used to illuminate model railroad coaches and buildings. Their size makes them appropriate for G-scale, O-scale, S-scale and HO. The LEDs can be placed as close together as 0.5 inches. The board is about 13 inches long and under 0.5 wide and can hold up to 25 LEDs.

Each board can easily be cut into sections each of which is designed to hold up to 5 individual LEDs. Each of the 5 LED sections also has holes for power connections, a current limiting resistor and, if desired, a latching reed switch that can be used to turn the lights on and off with a magnet that is passed over the top of the car or building.

These custom designed and manufactured circuit boards have a number of applications outside of model railroading as well. This article gives details on the use of the boards in a model railroading application.

The article gives details on how the LEDs can be powered from as few as 4 AAA cells, a 9 volt battery, track power (including DCC) and other power sources.
