Give your model train's head lights a boost

Any owner of a model train will tell you that the toy’s head lights are, at best, inconsistent and, at worst, terribly ineffective.

The only flickering, strobe lighting should come from a gadget specifically designed for such cool special effects.

We have finally answered model train aficionados’ prayers by presenting the full circuit schematic and parts list for a model train’s head lights that won’t flicker on you.

There’s no need to thank us. Enjoy.

Wow, thanks for this - it looks great. I totally agree about the head lights and have spent many hours trying to get them looking how I want.
