    I have a pretty good supply of the old Sunrise target signals that I am building from the old kits. I have been putting fiber optics in each one, and using a bi-color LED to transmit the light from underneath the layout. Problem is that the light from the fiber optic is just not that bright.

    The newer Sunrise signals come pre assembled with Micro BI-Color LED's installed. I would like to know if these small LED's can be bought as I would like to use them in the kits instead.

    I don't have a brother named Ronald.

    Marcel, Fernand and Lionel are my 3 brothers.

    Pelletier is a very common name here in New Brunswick Canada / Northern Maine area

    Thanks, might be what I am looking for. How did the LED'd fit in the Sunrise Signals? I would like to keep the scale look of these signals, that is why I first tried fiber optics.

    Serge from SMD products purchases the LEDs from me to build his signals.

    check on my web site for the back view of the signals with the leds.

    you will find that they are really good.

    Brightness is great too.
