Reply to "Surgery on Plastic Lenses for Observation Car Tail Lights"

Thanks for ideas on the tailend sign lighting. I was by the hobby shop today and picked up some more Evans LED's. And some grain of wheat bulbs. I tinkering with putting crumpled foil in the back of the little light box for the sign then aiming the LED backwards (away from the sign) onto the foil. But need the really tiny LED bulbs to fit through the existing holes.

Will try the grain of wheat bulbs first with a light diffuser behind the sign. (can use the foggy/ semi transparent plastic milk cartons or the yogurt lids for diffusers.)

On the red tail end lights I use the red Evans LED's.

Have been looking for a good LED light for the caboose or observation style old style oil lamps that have different colored light lens front, side and back. The LED's again are to directional whereas the Grain of Wheat bulbs give an even spread of light to all sides.
