GWR AEC railcar day 3

Today saw a light coat of white primer inside and out. Nano LED type 1206 arrived from China boy are they tiny!

Adding directional lights involved flattening the moulded lights with a Swiss file then drilling a 0.3mm hole in the centre opening out to 0.5 then to 1.0mm. Next fit chassis back onto body and mark the rear of the drivers console with the 1.0mm drill in order to position the LED’s in the correct position. I made a test run with one white LED and a short length of 1.0mm plastic fibre optic filament I must admit the result is encouraging.
