NOTES for Parts:
With Black Plastic Box sizes, bigger is easier.
The Punchboard is enough for 5 dual boxes. Scribe and break to size.
The incandescent lamps listed are no longer available. (Please
email me with a good available substitue and I will add it to
the list.)
The diodes are set up exactly the same way Lionel set up their sound
boxes.
Polyswitches are auto reset devices that are installed in line (in
series) with the variable voltage feed from the transformer. A large
range of sizes are available for different applications.
Helpful Tools:
1/2" unibit (for drilling plastic boxe)
9/32" machine drill bit (for lamp caps)
soldering iron
