Drafting type paper is an excellent choice for a light diffuser inside the car along the windows. This helps diffuse the light within the car providing a more uniform appearance. You might also consider placing reflective metal duct tape along the inside roof to reflect
the light downward within the car.
Output Adjustment
To use LED's place them with the correct polarity in series with an appropriate resistor. When setting the lamps to 2.7 volts, a resistor from 68 to 100 ohms would be appropriate and needs to be placed in series with each LED..

Illumination of a drumhead on a streamlined passenger car is easy! Drill out the end of the car and drumhead to allow a lamp to pass through from the inside. Place a lamp in positio n 8, pointing it out the rear! You will be pleased with the results. If you have to
shorten the board to fit it, do so. This position rotates the filament in the lamp for better end illumination.
3 rail operators: the center rail should be connected to the red wire and the gray wire to the outside rail pickups. The outside rail pickups are usually the chassis or trucks with appropriate wipers for the outside rail.

purchased as item #383. There are 16 lamp mounting provisions on the board. The board is also designed to be broken into sections with jumper wire locations provided. The breaking locations are shown by dashed lines with extra holes drilled through the board to
provide an easier break. If breaking the unit into se ctions, 2 wires are requir ed between to cont inue power to the next section. If connectors for the en d pieces are desired, item #520 will match the predrilled holes. If the en d section is not required, discard it or ke ep
it for another application. As always with electronics, use only rosin core solder or others appropriate for electronics, paste solder fluxes, including rosin pastes such as "NOKORODE" w ill event ually destroy wires and p rinted circu it boards. All soldering is to be done

This unit can provide up to 1/2 ampere of lighting load and has an adjustable voltage out put from 1.25 to 6 volts. Since the voltage is user set, any type lamp or other load in the range given can be used. The lamps included are nominally rated for 2.7 volts, 0.060
INSTALLATION: All REGULATED LIGHTING devices are to be mounted where space permits. Installation can be done by attaching wires to the existing 2 pin connector's leads for track power pickup and peeling the double sided tape to secure the unit in the
