Hi Everyone,
I am a relatively new gauge 1 modeller, owner of some Marklin models. I have two German Umbauwagen coaches that come without interior lights. I have already installed LED lightning with a similar flicker free solution that was featured in this forum, but I want to change to DCC.
So far I have found Hornby R8215 or TCS Fleet Lighter 2 as possible candidates. If I am not mistaken both Mobile Station and Central Station can work with DCC decoders. 100 mA (R8215) or 250 mA (TSC) would be sufficient to drive my LEDs.
Does anyone have experience with these decoders (similar project)? Or can you recommend something else?
I have used 5 high luminosity 3mm amber LEDs. White would have been "too white" for such coaches where bulbs were used instead of neon light. This is a short article about the DC project if you are interested:

Thanks,
