The side of the van

The circuit diagram for a flashing light circuit for the rear of the van for night time driving which happens several times a year ...

The completed circuit and tested ok. Now additional LEDs will be added for that there is a set of 3 each side that flash alternatively at about 1 second intervals.

Here the van has two hi bright LED fitted which flash alternatively so you will only ever see one on at a time.

More may be added to make the truck more visible at night!!!

Here Paul is running Baudot with the van in tow !!!

The rear section with the lights has been separated from the main section and then bolted back together so that the van can run as a short item and one passenger or large item without a passenger.

This is the rear of the main part and will be fitted with a red light in case it is needed as a rear part of another train.
