Caboose Flasher Circuit - Western Rail Products

Is there a model that is AC so it can use track power?  I don't have any cabeese that I would want to add this to that do not already have pick-ups and I would rather not have to bother with batteries.

Why are you posting multiple threads with the same content?

THE POSTINGS ARE NOT EXACTLY THE SAME.

This particular circuit board is designed for 3 volts DC using self contained batteries.

There are other products made by Miniatronics Corp that operate from AC power.

See another OGR posting that describes a roof top flasher beacon that operates from 14 volts ac.

I agree with Paul.  How about a model that can operate on AC up to 18 volts and ties in to the feeds from track power.

From doing some quick searches on Western Rail Products, it looks like they are primarily a supplier of HO and N products.  So, they probably don't have experience with AC power.

I'm sure you could rectify the AC power and drop the voltage to feed to their PCB, but if you are going to do that, why not just make the whole thing yourself?

I sure wouldn't pay that for a product that needs more alteration to work well in the O-scale environment.

As far as posting multiple threads for the same item, I doubt the webmaster feels it's a public service.
