Little battery lamps
Little battery lamps
I have some of those little battery powered lamps:
but I've ruined the little LEDS inside. While trying to replace the batteries, I broke off the leads on the tiny LED itself. I hope I can find some of these little LEDs, without having to buy new lamps.
A visit to the electronics store didn't turn up any small enough. Anybody know an online shop that sells them?

Loco lamps - small led's
Hi, they can be replaced by a sub miniature 1.8mm led from micro miniatures - no resister required for 3v operation. Not identical buy they do fit. Check the polarity before spending 10 minutes making the legs fit!

They are pretty expensive, but they also look really good. I always notice when a locomotive has one. Since they don't have wires you can move them around just like the real thing. They have a soft yellow glow just like an oil lantern. I think they're worth the money, I only wish the batteries weren't so fiddly to change, but they are very small so that's to be expected.
