thought about adding some ditch lights to a Walthers GP15-1 when I installed a NCE dasr decoder, it had three spare functions, but didn't have any grain of rice bulbs, or even the nice ditch light housings...
Found a photo of the prototype on the net UP1638, and it didn't have any ditch lights, but wanted to try and see what I could find in the parts bins..
Had some fairly low power SMD leds, about 0.110 wide, 0.140 high, and some 603 size resistors, and a bit of kynar [wire wrap] wire...
gave them a quick wipe with transparent yellow, would rather have yellow lenses that light up white, than clear lenses that light up blue..
leds were around a nickel each, resistors less than a penny... and a bit of wire and some spare time..a bit of paint, and they pass ...
set the front up to alternate side to side w/ F2, rear for double strobe flash in reverse
