Thanks @RWL
The bumper is modeled after the Fastrack earthen bumper. I've made several of these for the layout. The pieces are all scraps of balsa from previous projects. The uprights are 1/4" and the braces are 1/8". I mounted the LED on a small piece of project board and ran the two leads to the rails and soldered them on. It's just glued to the ties of the track. As long as the engineer is paying attention, it should hold up.
The others I've made are glued to the plywood board. These two have taken decent hits from over eager engineers and survived.

Those as well as the new one you did with the red light look awesome, Bob. I'm definitely going to add this to my future projects list.
