I use those when I upgrade steamers with my Super-Chuffer for the Rule-17 lighting, I need an LED headlight. They put plenty of light out through the number boards. I just glue the the 3528 size LED to the rear of the headlight housing.
Thanks John. I'll look into it.
Would Rule 17 (now known as Rule 5.9.1+) actually apply to an older steam locomotive? Dimming of a headlight in the presence of an oncoming train would have been manually done by one of the engine crew members. Just asking.........
