HO Scale Passenger Car Lighting Board:
- Super capacitors are included (optional on most competitors products)
- 16 Leds for even lighting (competitors products have less)
- Adjustable brightness
- One Farad capacitance on board (competitors have much less)
- Limited maximum 0.2 Ampere current when charging for DCC compatibility. Typical current draw is 0.01 Ampere after charging is complete.
Uses 1 Farad super-capacitors, and regulators to provide constant lighting. This unit is guaranteed not to flicker under any circumstances. Instructions and most parts for installation in cars without pickups are provided. Conductive wheels are required. Can also use existing pickups. The circuit board can be shortened to as little as 4″ by simply cutting the board with diagonal cutters or a razor saw (the fiberglass circuit board will dull most saws). Adjustable from dim to super bright. When adjusted for normal light levels the car will remain lit at constant brightness for more than 30 seconds after power is removed.

Can these lighting boards be attached directly to Walther’s passenger cars. On the two metal tabs where the Walthers light kit would go?
Thanks in advance.
Sorry I thought I was talking about the N Scale board. There are no tabs on the HO light board. The HO light board must be hard wired to any pickups or contacts on an HO Walthers passenger car.
I plan to order two of your HO scale passenger car lighting boards. (I model in HO, using DCC.) Question: I also want to light a caboose. Is there any reason your N scale caboose board would not work in HO? Thanks.
Of course any of the N Scale boards can be used in larger scales. Also note that the standard HO board can be cut down to 4″ for use in smaller cars.
A question about your answer to Jim Leonard: Do the Walthers metal tabs go over the EXP+ and EXP- pins on the side opposite the capacitors?
I’m going to convert my IHC fleet of HO passenger cars. Can you suggest how to light the vista dome (here’s an image: https://www.amazon.com/IHC-Vista-Dome-Passenger-Car/dp/B01MDMON1M)? I could solder tiny LED leads to your board and glue them to the underside of the dome to light that area, but can your board bend under the dome seats?
I have cut the board up into three sections. The dome would be lit by placing the light board facing up and drilling holes in the floor for the lights. My recollection is that on floor lights were used in the dome sections so the passengers could see the stars. The three boards are reconnected with magnet wire by scraping the insulation off of the traces and soldering wires to the traces. I have done this for a couple of other customers and could do this for you if you give me the desired final board dimensions.
