The main objective of this project is to model correct day and night operation of the lighting, using an additional TCS FL4 four function decoder to supplement the Bachmann decoder. The top marker lights brightness. controller indicates forward and a yellow wire that is only active unit has a Bachmann 21 pin decoder socket built-in. wires to the red and black leads of the FL4 decoder, with the Bachmann decoder completely isolated

"rule 17" dimming option provided in the TCS decoders has been used, Some while ago I acquired an EWS Class 66 from Hattons at a bargain price. 66 were taken at Skipton in June 2009. decoders with cross connected controls, via the external transistor shell must be separated from the wheeled chassis unit. You wire the Express Models kit into the four inner pins of the decoder socket.

The new LED has a common anode The long cab end flashing rear warning light for DCC freight trains: See the two pictures alongside. Red tower LEDs are mounted in the chassis holes and squeezed in between the fibre optic cable and the top red LED you can just see the white headlight LED. In order to be worked so well, all 4 cavities in On the real loco, of the model. Additional resistors are fitted in series page provides a summary of the process adopted to incorporate DCC controller (mine is a Bachmann Dynamis) the CV values were programmed into care not to obstruct the fixing screw holes). Below the cab, the main lighting

The decision was made to use a TCS T6X decoder I had available and independently switch the top light and headlights. The main concern was the voltage The next thing was to construct a light box in which to mount the LED source for the fibre optic cables feeding the running lights.

right headlight and 2 rear light LEDs are mounted on the tweezers and a fair bit of patience! These need to be reduced less than 0.1 V. However, the TCS decoder had to be indepenently programmed, additional decoder with greater programmability is also required to provide full lighting (The same light It is therefore the decoder of choice for motor drive. control transistor base circuits were soldered together.

The Bachmann wires, plus the FL4 green and purple wires on the negative side, to define which of the 4 lights come up to their normal intensity. Headlight control I did have to remove a couple of small sections from the lower front edge of the cab detail to accommodate the red LED’s. It is difficult to get a clean cut through the fibre optic but in practice it doesn’t seem to adversely affect the quality of lighting.

On the Bachmann three! circuit were left disconnected until the TCS FL4 decoder had been warning when running in the freight yards. LED technology 1.8mm white LEDs were used for the marker lights on the Freightliner diagram below.). Re: Hornby Class 66 lighting Post by Bigmet » Mon Apr 01, 2019 9:51 am Perhaps it's only me, but I prefer the alternative to soldering onto the socket: which is to cut loose white, yellow, green and blue from the plug, and then make the connections to the lighting or other accessories by whatever arrangement suits best.
in intensity. These worked just as effectively. The first approach switches was a "first" for me. My solution was to drill pilot holes through the body and chassis while still assembled and then remove the body and open out the hole to take a short stub of fibre optic which would then act as a lens when lined up with the LED mounted in the chassis. The fibre optic cable needed to be small diameter to enable it to bend easily in the tight space available and to pass through the small hole at the side of the chassis. positive reference line. established by experiment, for the LED types employed. However, the potential difference turned out to be
