Hi Guys,
Following on from another thread does anyone have any experience in fitting carriage lighting to Dapol N Gauge carriages. I have purchased some of Richard Johnsons 'flicker-free' lights to go into my GWR Collet carriages but cannot work out how to get power to them as the axles appear to be plastic. Richard has suggested replacing the wheels & axles but has no experience of doing this in N Gauge.
I've measured the existing wheels which appear to be 6.2 mm dia. and have found various patterns for this size in the Romford catalogue but can't seem to find the axles. I think it's the solid disc type I need plus axles and insulating bushes.
Does anyone know better ??
Cheers,
