[@jhoodfysh]

Thanks Dan, this information helped me.

You're welcome. I'm glad you found it helpful. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for putting this together--great for future reference! Great job Dan

[@DanielCortopassi]

You're welcome. Thanks for watching!

[@scottday8]

I thank you for taking your time and going in-depth with your LEDs I can’t wait to see how you light things up

[@DanielCortopassi]

You're welcome. Thanks for watching!

hola buenas noche muchas gracias por subir el video abrazo grande

[@DanielCortopassi]

I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!

[@Vman7757]

This was a very useful piece of information. I am in N scale and I have been putting doing the head lights for my C415 switcher that needs LEDs for lights. Thanks for sharing.

[@DanielCortopassi]

I hope this helps. Thanks for watching!

[@attackeagle]

As a fellow n scaler, I use 603 for headlights. 402s for everything else.I get them with 36/38 wire presoldered.

[@Vman7757]

@@attackeagle You do. I have 603s I could use them then. Where do you get yours from?

[@attackeagle]

@@Vman7757 eBay. I like the stranded wire over the magnet wire.

[@Vman7757]

@@attackeagle Ebay? I like stranded too.

Excellent video, thanks!

Thanks for watching!

Nicely done and important step for anyone wanting to improve their models and electronics skills. I use a caboose as a shoving platform and use LEDs inside along with sound decoder for special whistle. Your adherence to DCC wire color coding is laudable and a great practice to follow. Thanks for another excellent video! Kennedy

[@DanielCortopassi]

I'm glad you liked it. The caboose sounds cool. Thanks for watching!

[@ronsmith3905]

I have no experience with LED's, so this was very informative. Very nice Dan and I like the fact that you mentioned what you would use for N Scale as well. Looking forward to part 2. Thanks again for a great video. Cheers!!

[@DanielCortopassi]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

[@talovar2208]

Very enlightening video, I learned a few things from this video, keep up the Legendary work !

[@DanielCortopassi]

I'm glad you found it helpful. Thanks for watching!

[@shipbuilding1000]

Very useful video Dan. Especially for people who have tons of Athearn locomotives with those horrible little bulbs that need to go and they intend to replace them....eventually...someday. Thanks for this.

[@DanielCortopassi]

You're welcome. Thanks for watching!

[@scottsilvey7522]

Nice refresher Dan!! Here lately I have been getting my resistors and LEDS from All Electronics, they sent me a catalog that is chock full of anything electronics!! In case some of your fellow viewers didn't know look up Dan's 25 you tube video's on detailing a SD 40-2 and he has a lot of great footage installing LEDS in an Athearn Locomotive!! See you in the next episode Dan!!

[@DanielCortopassi]

I'll have to check out that supplier. Thanks for the tip!

[@Ultz_Sentinial]

I appreciate it and I've learned a lot from you videos that I didn't think were possible and it gives me inspiration to turn a bachmann Ho 4449 into a model that has as many features and details as possible

[@DanielCortopassi]

Thanks so much for the kind words and for watching! Good luck with your 4449 project!

[@Ultz_Sentinial]

@@DanielCortopassi Your welcome hope you get to see my end result and hope to see the consist run soon

[@SGTGhost]

That's really nice, found it very useful and interesting

[@DanielCortopassi]

Glad to hear that! Thanks for watching!

[@CentralJerseyRailfan]

Thanks for sharing. I’m looking at LED installs into some older locos I have but my plan is to use a Decoder Buddy to make wiring and taking the shell off a breeze. It comes with built in resistors

[@DanielCortopassi]

Cool, I haven't tried one of those. Thanks for watching!

[@1610nsb]

Great job Dan ,absolutely like the way you present everything, love the format! i’ve said it before I’ll say it again you definitely have a gift to do this. Thanks buddy!!!👍😁

[@DanielCortopassi]

I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!

[@1610nsb]

Daniel Cortopassi 👍

[@quickford]

Thanks for this video, I want to upgrade an older locomotive to LED lighting and this explains what is needed in a clear and concise way.

[@DanielCortopassi]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

[@needs2quit1atgmail87]

Awesome!! Your making me very interested into LEDs again!!! Lol

[@DanielCortopassi]

Cool! Thanks for watching!

[@josecarlospereiramachado2016]

Muito bom parabéns.

[@DanielCortopassi]

Thanks!

[@donscholz7225]

Loved the video but missed you guitar music at the beginning.

[@DanielCortopassi]

Maybe I'll see if I can work some more music into a program or two in the future. Thanks for watching!

[@dastumer]

Great video! Would you use a different resistor value for DC?

[@DanielCortopassi]

If you're using a 12 volt DC power supply then the same values should work. If you have one of the large scale throttles those can sometimes go higher, like 18-20 volts, so I'd probably use a bigger resistor. Thanks for watching!

[@BritanniaPacific]

I was wondering about those interior lighting kits for coaches. Will that be covered in another episode?

[@DanielCortopassi]

I could maybe talk about that in another program sometime. I'll add it to the list. Thanks for the suggestion!
