Here's how I made some realistic directional light panels for my old Lima Class 33. Using surface mounted LEDs and carefully selected resistors for the perfect brightness, the video includes fitting a DCC decoder socket for easy chipping, all the electrics for the lights themselves and making the headcode blind surrounds using laminated inkjet printouts and Sugru moulding glue. Not just suitable for a Class 33, aspects of my method can also be adapted for other locos - old and new.
