This is a fantastic video. Although I dont have all the tools or thr setup, it gave an excellent demonstration ans explanation on how to light up the buildings. Im off to check for other videos on using 3V street lights
love to see what power source your using..to test the lighting..and how you hook up few to several buildings.....to a DC or AC power source now i know how strip lighting works....awesome and thank you
I use Viessmann 5200 for DC power source and I run 2 wires all over under the layout .(I will make a video of my wiring for the layout soon). For testing the LED light strip I just had a pair of wire hooked onto my track with alligator clips.
I’m new to lighting, sorry if this sounds dumb but what happens to the wires once they’re threaded through the hole at the base, what do I connect them to? Thank you
Great information; thanks! Two questions: was the resistor put on the positive wire (input) or onto the negative wire? Also does the resistor have to be oriented correctly or does it not matter which end is toward the light? Did you add more wire to the other lead of the resistor? Just learning; so thanks for the information. Much appreciated. Great tip about the LED light strip also.
Sorry for the late answer. So, the resistor absolutely doesn't matter which end or which wire negative or positive you put it on. You don't have to add more wire to the other end of the resistor, you can just connect the resistor to the power source if you want, or add more wire that's up to you. It will work either way.
Excellent way to light the structures, I am a beginner here, please help me understand the input current/voltage from the source, as I would have to plan running a cable set for that voltage under the layout for structures.
Thank you ! That's exactly what I did I'm running a set of wires 18 Gauge under the layout and where you need to hook up a light for a building you can just put in a "T" shaped connector to run a thinner wire to the building. I hope this helped , If you have any other question don't hasitate to ask. Cheers!
I have a power pack that supplies 16V DC power. But after a while when you hooked up too many buildings you will probably need a second or more power packs, depends on how many things you need to hook up or how big is your layout. I'm using 2 right now.
I made my own. All it is , is a rotary switch, and inside you have all the different value resistors soldered in. If you wanna make your own, you should be able to get everything from a electronic store. I hope this helped.
I don't have a part number but I got it on eBay. Should be about $16.- for a 5M. spool.This is what you have to look for on eBay: SMD LED 2835 Warm white 5M flexible DC 12V. Hope that helps and sorry for the late answer.
Hello Sir, I'm looking forward to study your video, on a personal note, are you related to Robert "Barry" Barraby Bucknell who was an English TV presenter who popularized Do It Yourself in the United Kingdom.
Well done, and thanks that it's not too much talking and zero annoying music in background.
Thanks.
I looked for information on lighting my model buildings and viewed several videos. Your video gave me exactly what I needed to know. Thanks.
Glad to help. Just put out an other tutorial how you can get your flex track perfectly straight.
Good job Gábor,thank you. Greetings from Slovakia
Love the layout of your workshop - has given me a few ideas
You put a lot of Pride into your work. I enjoyed it. You explained it very nicely thank you

Perfect video - clear and slow and answered all my questions!
I just put out a new video , how to get your flex track perfectly straight. There will be videos coming out every month.
Great little tutorial. Thanks Gabor.
Glad you liked it!

Thank you for teaching on resistors a bit.
Looks good buddy
I am really lucky to find your video
Very informative video really helpful, thanks for posting.
No problem, glad you liked it, the next one is co ming out in a week from now on Sunday
Good work and it looks great.
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice workshop and great detail work.
Glad you enjoyed it
Bangin video, can I ask a question, does the resistor go on the + or the -
- wire or does it matter?
It doesn't matter.
I’m new to lighting, sorry if this sounds dumb but what happens to the wires once they’re threaded through the hole at the base, what do I connect them to? Thank you
thanks for making this video..i really enjoyed it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
You are welcome, my next video is coming out a week from this Sunday.
Hi, what did you connect the wires to get the power?, thank you.
Where did you get that test box at the 8:34 mark? Or what is the correct name for it.? That looks like a pretty useful tool to have around.
A friend of mine made it for me.
@@bavariainhoscale8712 Any chance to see the inside of that resistor box? Maybe a schematic or wiring diagram?
This was a great video! Thanks
Glad it helped!
Great video,thank you!!

Absolutely doesn't matter negative or positive and the resistor can go either way, again doesn't matter.
Where can you a get a device like yours to measure which resistor to use?

what is the multi ohm switch you used called? where can i get one?
I made my own. All it is , is a rotary switch, and inside you have all the different value resistors soldered in. If you wanna make your own, you should be able to get everything from a electronic store.
I hope this helped.
Very fine!!!
Thanks.
Thank you love you voice
Where did you buy the i beam
Anyone know where I can get some of the old school barn house cone lights or just at the cone part?
What kind of hot iron did you use? And where did you get it from?
It was a soldering station I used, and I bought it in Germany but you can use any soldering iron or station . Check out amazon . I hope this helped.
Nice video, what is the part number for the LED you are using?
I don't have a part number but I got it on eBay. Should be about $16.- for a 5M. spool.This is what you have to look for on eBay:
SMD LED 2835 Warm white 5M flexible DC 12V. Hope that helps and sorry for the late answer.

ottimo video!
Thank You
What power source did you use? AC. DC DCC
I use DCC. I got the Roco Z21
I hook up my lights to a DC power source, but my next video is all about that which is coming out a week from this Sunday

Not at all
I burn off the wire coating with a long butane lighter. Faster.
Yes, that works good too.
You speak very low. I’m deaf but even my wife had to turn up the volume to almost maximum. I’m sorry that I said that but please speak louder please.
Thank you for letting me know. I will.
