its me again,lighting this time.
Posted by Daveroo on Thursday, January 16, 2014 5:15 PM

ok.im planning on this CCKW based feild kitchen truck,with trailer.ive found not only the M1937 stoves,but an entire conversion kit that comes with 3 M1937 stoves,refer,cabinet,and a shelf.also comes with the rear ladder and light.my tankograd TM #6023 book which includes several mess trucks and layouts,im going to use the book as a guide,but i have one trucks layout in mind,which has four lights,one mounted on the "firewall" behind the stoves,2 lights hanging from the bows over the stoves working area,and one light on the left side above the cutlery shelves.i want to make them working lights.i will find a place for the batteries some where.

BUT are there any "kits" for lighting in 1/35th?..im thinking some of the smaller lamps (grain of rice bulbs,ect)used in HO railroading,maybe all attached to a small circuit board under the truck seat,with just the wires to the batteries hiden somehow into the base and with a on/off under a tree or on the side of the base..anyone know small scale lighting?

Try a Google search for "LED lighting for models".  Should find several sources and lots of information.  For example:

www.lights4models.com/

www.modeltrainsoftware.com/ledlights1.html

Many of these sites have tips for wiring, circuitry, etc.  Have fun.
