Reply to "Simulated 3rd rail spark/electrical arc"

Hi Stan, first off THANK YOU! You da man! I left a comment on YouTube, it was funny, the wife and I took a walk and I saw your video by chance when we came home, before you ever posted here. I am still in the planning stages and I have ordered several of the components that you recommended from eBay. For laziness I will use the "all encompasing" lazy man's leds from Evans designs. I think if you want to share the diagram of what you have going on here, that would suffice for now. I am going to have a few different spots on the layout with the arc/spark effect. I will experiment with the parameters until I am satisfied with the visual results. I will also include a switch to be able to turn the whole spark system on/off, because an aem-7 shares the track at times, and it obviously wouldn't arc, at least not from the track wait, an arcing overhead...task for later on

Thanks again, have a nice day!

-Todd
