It's all looking very good. Just a thought, in the last picture you can see the back of the warehouse, could it be given a 3D look by adding drainpipes? It would add a little depth to the backscene - as I say just a thought. Barry

Having resolved the flashing light problem - for which many thanks to all. I thought it best to start a new thread. I would like to put lighting into the buildings in the street surrounding the station. A 12v power supply (it has arrived) is about to replace the 9v supply currently in situ. The buil...

The street lights, taxi roof lamps and belisha beacons are now working. Now need to get some lighting into the buildings - and may be the bus

Got there in the end - now for lights in buildings :D The belisha beacons do start in unison, but slowly get out of sequence(?). The beacons and street lamps have the resistors fitted that they came with, the taxi lamps have 1k resistors - the whole lot is running from a 9v supply. The switch is a "...

The beacons do not flash in unison.

Brian - I'll report back when 12v supply and appropriate resistors are fitted - thanks for all your help. BB

Hi Chops - yes I was very lucky. In 2008, I was given a demonstration in my local model shop of the new R2782XS BR Duchess Class 8P – City of Sheffield (DCC Sound decoder fitted). I told my boss all about it - guess what my christmas bonus was? https://live.staticflickr.com/4470/37483133732_d5daf694...

The BB's just came as BB's - no external pcb, with two wires (blue and red) to be attached, via the resistor (blue wire) to a 12v power supply.

If the resistor can be connected to either +/-, why on the belisha beacons from Kytes Lights would it say the resistor (supplied) has to be attached to the negative lead? Whereas the lamp posts it says resistor can be attached to either +/-? Something to do with the flashing?

Can't wait to see some more pictures. BB
