#33 Part B: Installing a Flashing Tail Lamp/EOT Light (Making Pickups, Switch & Voltage Regulator)

This in-depth, two-part how-to series takes you through the installation process of a flashing tail lamp and pickup circuitry, step-by-step.

Part A looked at designing and building a small rectifier and stay-alive/keep-alive circuit, from component selection to soldering. You can watch it here:    • #32 Part A: Installing a Flashing Tai...  

In this part, Part B, we look at adding a switch, installing the red tail lamp itself and, because the flasher unit used requires a specific voltage, the design and build of a small rectifier circuit.

The circuitry used in this video series is just as applicable for coach lighting circuits or most other situations where you need to get power from the tracks into a coach or wagon to power a light.
