Has anyone converted the " Constant On" circuit found in the mth diesel lighting kits to Led's? It seems to be a shame to not use that circuit in the kit. Thanks in advance for your imput.

You probably just need a resistor and the LED. I believe those use the same 6V bulbs as PS/2, right? I haven't actually used one of those kits.
Sounds like you can use either the 6V board or the track power.

- YEs it's this that I rather use the led's than the light bulbs included.
If it is 6v just put a 150 ohm 1/4 watt resistor in series and an LED in proper polarity. I ma not familiar with the kit.

What do you mean by "proper polarity"?
