Title: YelloGlo??
Post by: Anubis on May 29, 2011, 08:50:57 PM
Hi guys,

Does anyone know the brand of YelloGlo LEDs that Bachmann use in their On30 locos like the Mogul and the Forney?

Do you also know where I can purchase them?

Many thanks... ;)

There may be no unique brand or manufacturer.  I would think a user such as Kader Industries (Bachmann's parent company) probably puts things like LEDs out to tender and buys from whomever can meet their specifications and delivery requirements at the best price.

An alternative is to use warm white LEDs and paint them with coats of clear yellow paint until you get the colour you want.

Bachmann will sell you spare headlights for $8 a shot.  Alternately might be worth watching eBay to see if anyone sells their extras.
