Bruce Petrarca, DCC columnist of Model Railroad Hobbyist magazine shares his vast knowledge about all things DCC with you. Companion video to his March 2012 DCC Impulses column in MRH.
Wiring for model train locomotive LED lighting. This was a very, very helpful video. Thank you very much for sharing!

I tried it, and it works!! thank you for sharing .
Very informative, thanks for sharing!

There is a table in my column for resistor selection.
Thanks for stopping by, Rob.
Those dye marks are there to let you know not to solder anything beyond them and the LED.
I have the same soldering iron and i need to get a new tip for it do you have any hints as to where to get them ??
Tell me what wire you use and where did you get it?
Thanks for a good video.
What is this buzzer you mention? Your multimeter? Are you doing a continuity test?
great video.... Where can I purchase those stainless steel tweezers that clamp?
I need a couple of them.
nice job, once I new some things but non use over the years that has gone away
very good
@BrucePetrarca thanks for the reply but where is your column mate? any chance you could send me a link to it would be greatful if you could help me out as at the minute i use a 9V battery to power lights in buildings if i could use the power from the track would help alot but obviously would need the correct resistor for the job! Cheers Rob
Does it matter which direction the resistor is soldered in?
wow your a professional! wish i was that good, one question what resistor did you use?
I assume that the resistor is to convert the 12 volts from the track to the right volts for the LED?
Cheers and keep up the good work
Rob.
that's a pretty dope ring
How about smd fuses to protect those LEDs.
what is the handt buzzer thing called?
Thanks for sharing und ne tipp

I've been doing a monthly column there on DCC. The March 2012 issues covers LED lighting and includes the three videos that have just been posted to TH-cam.
Of course I appreciate anyone who shares, but common, if you're going to share your methods, at least share ALL of your supply locations and sizes, i.e., led, resisters, wire sizes and types of everything. There are latterly 20 or more videos on wiring them up already. Lets have some numbers and suppliers for a change.
Like you said, it does not matter, but looks to me like you actually soldered the resistor to the Negative. I say this bc if you look in the clear resin of the LED, you can see the "larger" piece of metal is connected to the leg w/the resistor. This larger piece of metal is the Negative side of things.
The tweezers are covering cathode.
