Click for larger Image Express Models - Flashing Tail lamp kit

Below I have added some pictures & text on how I installed this kit, & I will be using a Hornby HEA wagon.
The obvious way to install one would be to hide the PCB board (battery) inside the Wagon itself, then add a coal load over the top. But as I have quite a long train of HEA's I don't really want to go out and buy loads of coal load covers - to match the single one at the end! So I intend to run this train as an empty one.

  • Lithium Battery
  • Tail lamp Wired
  • Switch
  • PCB board with technical gubbings ;)

Its fairly easy to unclip, just be very carful of the little ladders either end of the hopper, as you can see mine have in fact snapped, and have decided to stay on the chassis. These have a tendency of coming off, but not to worry as these can be super glued on later.

Click for larger Image It is recommend by Express Models to drill holes for the wires to slot through, I on the other hand have decided to cut a vertical slot in the buffer beam. So that the Wires cut be slotted up into the grove and super glued
