Another brilliant IC82 How to... Video InterCity82 .. Well done. I really enjoyed watching you the Train-Tech Coaching Lighting Strip to a Bachmann Branch-Line MK1 InterCity First Class Coach. I am now looking forward to watching your next IC82 How to... Video.

Great video well done. The light look great. It will look even better when the whole rake is lit up.

Even though i'm more of a Maunsell coach fan, i have to say that the LED's make a dramatic effect on those MK1's. Looking forward to seeing more diy videos like this from you in the future.

Thanks for sharing, very informative, i have a couple these coaches, will have a go at fixing lights, and look forward the video fixing people also, cheers Colin

Thanks for this! This has given me the inspiration to do up my class 153!

Brilliant product. Luckily we can get them here in the states as well. Looks like something I'll need to try!

Great work mate, great tutorial & i'm now very tempted! LOL! Cheers mate, Jack

Thanks for doing this video, greetings from Minnesota!

Another interesting video. That lit coach looks the part, even without people.

If you ever go to make the lights track powered you will need to a resistors because the CR2032 uses 3.7v and track power is usually between 0-16 volts(depending on your dc or dcc system)

great video you explained how too ! very well as i run in the garden lights would look great just have to make time to install them keep up the excellent video's

Great video. I find it easier to remove the metal wires from the roof though and leave them attached to the coach ends. I suppose everyone has their own way. Keep up the good work.

Thank you for doing this. I didn't realise you could get battery powered lights. I thought they had to be DCC kit, which as I'm still learning I was squeamish of. Yay! Great work!

I guess the lighting can be used on the Eurostar coaches on my layout. I might try it.

great video all the information i need. Iv'e subbed!

I've just fitted 5 of the strip lights to my Victorian railways coaches, to good effect. Two coaches have the tail light. The motion sensors are very very sensitive, just knocking the train table will turn them on.

wow you were into Warhammer as well and moved onto the model people in the coach :-D I have high expectations for my project now XD lol

Enjoyable tutorial.

Nice one & looks very atmospheric. Regarding your Bachmann 21pin decoder, Everard Junction has an interesting post concerning these recent decoders.

DCC has too many problems--that's why I do DC only! Another thought for you. You can get Loksound ESU current collectors (#50707) for about $13.75 which includes shipping from Litchfield trains. You get enough to do 8 wheel sets. You cut them apart and mount (super glue/epoxy) each one to opposite wheels and it provides a pickup current from the track and a return through the opposite wheel. Of course you have to use metal wheel sets with one wheel insulated. Unless I find some more scrap copper, I cannot even come close to the price of the Loksound ESU parts. What's neat about this is you only need one pair of the little pickups which you cut into half--one for each wheel. Cheers.

great video ! - thanks

I had the same dcc decoder problem with a second hand class 170/171 and it said dcc fitted and I soon found out why it was sold. I might get the lights when I have a permanent layout

Iv'e got six Bachmann mark 1 porthole coaches in blood & custard , when i attempted to open one up by trying to remove one of the pipes to the end of coach the tiny lug which holds it in place snapped of, so iv'e been to nervous to try any more. On top of that some of the springs that hold connectors in place have become disconnected. These springs are inside the body of the coach so cannot be accessed without removing the top of the coach ? Dose anyone have any suggestions.

Was your decoder a Bachmann 36-557 by any chance? These are relatively new and from my experience they are poor performers (I've tested 3). The decoder is a custom unit made by soundtraxx and supplied to Bachmann only. If you can find the older and much better 36-554 you should be ok. If not I would get something else like Lenz, TCS or a Hornby Sapphire. Stay away from the Bachmann 36-557!!!

Is your proper layout like the Stig we all want to know what it's like but it is unknown

Enjoyed your tutorial. I think it is time to add lighting to my coaches that are not DCC fitted. Have you stopped doing presentations?

can you put a link to where we can buy them in the description?

great videos--- could you just install the electrical pickups on the trucks and use led lighting strips like you can get on ebay for like $5?

where did you get those coaches from? ive been looking for something like that for ages

Where did you get the Motion sensor LED light strips in HO scale??

So if they're battery operated, how do you turn them off when not in use? And do you have to dismantle your coaches every time the battery runs out?

There is a coach which we are stripping the inside and turning it into a restaurant car. It is a right good pain in the backside sometimes

Fantastic vid, however just one little thing... When you were whispering in the dark and the coach light came on just for a second or two and went straight out, you said it's not supposed to do that, but actually if the coach light only sees a tiny little bit of movement it just comes on for a second or so, then if it sees a little more movement it stays on for it's 4 mins :) Not a criticism to your vid at all, just purely to let you know! Looking forward to the next one. Kevin.

how to switch on the light?

If my memory serves me correctly, the compartments were all lit at the same time. They were not powered separately. A bulb could have gone out in one though.

Worth mentioning that Express models do a range of coach lighting kits for £15 & Kytes lights do bags of 24 figures for £8, for £15 you can get 100 figures

why dont you get light for the car and lamp posts

Toothpicks are great for painting small stuff like people figs. And again, I would stay the hell away from enamels unless you're sure what you're painting is resin. Is that the only strip Train-Tech does? It seems like it's meant for a full brake or somesuch.

Do you lnow that the Hornby Select is not NMRA compliant, that prob why the decoder dosenr work

Would it not be cheaper to buy a large spool of strip LED's off of eBay, then solder a small battery pack to it, which can then be stuck into multiple coaches?

You''ve probably already figured, but Bachmann's 36-557 decoder isn't compatible with Hornby's Select for some reason. A thing to remember though, the Select isn't NMRA compliant, which the Hornby Elite is, and the 36-557 works with my Elite. Also to support this, on Hatton's website where the Select is sold, there is an accompanying note saying 'Please note that this controller cannot be used with locomotives with the Bachmann 36-557 21-pin decoder fitted.' HTH

You could have used the newly chipped Caledonian Belle loco to pull the coach fitted with the Train Tech lighting strip....

Really liking theses how to vids! :) thanks! It looks really good but shame about the dcc chip :/

Nice one bud. Was it the positioning of the light strip that just fell between the compartment that made it 'lights out'? Looks like you forgot to put the people in the carriage! However, you did show me the truly important bit and I feel confident enough to have a go at it myself. Mother in Law is happy to put up the money for the lighting strips, so jobs a goodun !! I have painted up many a figure and with a little, or maybe a lot, of patience and practise I got really good at it. I do use acrylic paints as it is so so so much quicker than enamel. Thanks for a great video and I have subscribed. Excellent work, look forward to more of your vids.

Finally after a long time you upload a video

In German "ei" = I (like "eye") and "ie" = e; that is the reverse of common English spelling; so Preiser = Pr"eye"zer. I hope that helps.

Yeah man I know warhammer I still play it today and trust me everything has changed in warhammer but I like it so I hop u might get beck in to it sometime and keep making these videos, p.s I would like to say u should have a look at the class C locomotive

I've had the same problem with the bachmann dcc decoder the hornby ones are better and the bachmann ones are really expensive

Good enthusiastic review as always! Did you change your mind about putting passengers in?

Got to it so early the HD version isn't done processing yet. >.>

Reverse the polarity of the neutron flow

You need to learn to do your own electronics as I do all my own coach & caboose lighting. Of course I only do DC for my trains. I purchased LED strip lighting, mini full wave bridge rectifiers (the little square ones) and some 3300uF capacitors from fleaBay for under $15.00 which came from China. I made my own pickups out of some copper salvaged from an old computer and lit up an REA (Railway Express Agency) coach. The LED strips can be cut apart at every 3rd LED and have the ballast (current limiting) resistors already installed on each 3 LED section and, of course, they're all 12 volt DC. The LED strips have adhesive on the back so they can be mounted to the interior roofing. I have also converted all my illuminated coaches that have incandescent lighting to LED strip lighting. I probably spent maybe $2.00 per coach. Still have over 10 cabooses to do along with 4 more Riverossi coaches. The LED strip lighting is bright white, which was too bright for my needs. Sooooo, I painted each little LED with some yellow acrylic paint and now they are quite fantastic looking with the glow of period correct yellow lighting. I think I used about 12 LED's per coach and the roll of LED strip lighting contained 300 LED's. So this goes to show you, you can do this quite on the cheap. All my lighting gets its power from the tracks. Cheers & 73 from W Rusty Lane K9POW in eastern Tennessee (and yes I'm a Ham)

Contacts for wheels.. Charlie Bishop AKA Chadwick does the contact tutorial.

The brand is called preiser

Everard Junction has uploaded a video about the new Bachmann dcc chip, compering it's to the old and a different brand, and said to say new 21 pin chip dies a death.

It's a bit odd with the battery, wouldn't it be easier to light it all up with the traction current? ;-) Greets from Vienna :-)

There are smaller batteries surely

Nice chocolate orange

we're did you get the light strip and how much

you could use a little more light when filming

Did you forget to put the people in it? xD

never super glue for mounting lights it will destroy some led's

there germany made from preiser

Love the comment about the person who stinks! Why was he always with me?!

Just shove the contact wires up the middle of the pivot on the bogie. Drill a tiny hole.

Hey will do you know if you can upload vids on iPad Love the vids keep it up can I have a shoutout please as I am jus starting

give me one of your models please

Then just superglue or araldite it to the roof.🙃🚂🚂

get marklin

Last like us only some thing are made in the us

Seriously dude? 20 pounds per coach?! Try Rapido Easy Peasy lighting. It retails for about $15 per kit!

pronounce it like "priser" (the "i" like in "price".......;-)

Rubbish! Expensive kits.. how to do it: without hacking chunks deep notches out of the ends. Biggest capacitor you can find, to hide in the toilet. LED’s come from bright components. A handful of resistors and a bridge rectifier. I have heard of people using veroboard/strip board/ circuit board.. but why bother! If you are clever enough with a soldering iron, just use solid core telephone wire, Tris.😎🙏👍

too much talking ...
