Who sells white flashing LED on track power?

Here's a Great place to start.  http://www.modeltrainsoftware.com/  I've used them and their Customer Service is THE Best!

Gee, thanks.  I think this might work:

However, I'm open to any and all suggestions from others.

Thanks alot.

Riki,

You can use any 3 mm or 5 mm LED's just put  a 1000  or a 460 ohms Resister in line. connect it to the positive side. 

That's long side leg of the LED's 

Good luck,John  

Actually, with flashing LED's they need filtered DC to do their thing.  A simple way to get consist ant flashing with variable power input is to use diode, capacitor filter, and a 3-terminal regulator.  If you use an LM7805, you can then simple use a dropping resistor in the 150-500 range to adjust the light output and flash rate of most flashing LEDs.

I have been buying lots of LED's that work with AC or DC from Evans Designs.

They have a great selection.

I hooked up some colored lights for the lighting the fire for the Hobo on the roof of the Polar Express. Have used them for various flashing lights and bright lights for headlights in Engines Caboose etc.

Check it out cheap and do not need all the extra stuff suggested above. Each bulb has its own stuff to handle AC and up to 19 Volts.

The ones I have used all different types start lighting at low volts and are fairly bright from about 8 volts up. Think this will be perfect for what you are looking for.

This is the link to the page for the bulbs that work on variable AC

These Super Bright Flashing LEDs come Fully Assembled  shrink tubed, wired and ready to use with
8 inches of insulated wire after the rectifier. Connect these LEDs to any track power source: AC DC or DCC. They will work great with 5-19 Volts of Power. These Flashing LEDs don't need a circuit board, and look great as end of train devices, on Maintenance of Way vehicles, as Oscillating Headlights, on Die Cast Emergency Vehicles, warning flashers, and more!

All I use is Evans LED's. Locomotives,rolling stock; you name it. If you can tie your shoes you can wire them. Hot,ground. Done!  Everything else is done for you. Give Dave a call at Evans.  Good guy to deal with and has an excellent product!

Chris,

Very good information.

Thanks, John  

I use Evans LEDs They are Super.

"I have been buying lots of LED's that work with AC or DC from Evans Designs."

I agree, this would be my first call. Reasonable, ready to go, and great customer service.

Ditto on Evans designs. Great service and such a large selection of products.

If this is a one-off application, by all means go with the ready-to-run solution.

But as it looks like you're willing to tinker with parts, if you plan to add other LED lights (steady, flashing, flickering, LED strips, whatever) or DC-powered layout accessories here's another approach.  You have the bridge already so get an eBay 99 cent (free shipping) DC-in to DC-out voltage regulator module.  Now you have regulated DC (5V, 12V, whatever you set it to).  And you can choose from a wider variety of LED devices at a much lower total cost.  That is, for each additional LED add the appropriate 5 cent resistor and off you go.
