Installed my first TMCC conversion tonight in a beep & need ideas

CaptaincogCaptaincogOGR Forum Member DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER

So I had bought a BEEP that had a bad board so this became my first candidate for a TMCC conversion. I ordered from Electric RR and everything showed up tonght. I had ordered the mini commander 2 with LED and Electrocoupler option. So the kit does not have the LEDs and I am needing ideas on how to mount the electrocouplers. The beep runs perfect now sans the lights which I need to go buy some LEDS and mount them. So any ideas for the electrocouplers? I am guessing that any superwhite LED will work?

Thanks in advance!

"Lionel 2341" several years ago posted on the OGR forum the drawings for a "Z"

bracket to mount the electrocouplers. The brackets are made from brass sheet

and I made several of them--I found it difficult to bend the "Z".  If I should need more in the future, I would machine them from a brass or Aluminum block.

 

I bought the couplers from MTH-- sorry I can't give you the part numbers

Actually the ElectricRR board is smaller that the original board and while there are a few more wires it leaves plenty of room. I just need to get and mount the electro couplers and plug them in since the connectors are already there.

Thanks for the info! Should you find a pic or drawing please let me know since that is the only thing I have left to do. The LEDs were completed tonight and it runs great.
