Introduction
The Buffer Light is a really easy and effective way to add a realistic stop light to sidings and buffer stops - lighting can help bring your
layout to life! It simply clips into most standard OO/HO gauge track and takes power from the rails with no wires - easy and realistic!
You can either fit the Buffer Light at the end of a station platform or in front of/behind a buffer stop - most of the commercial buffer
stops by Peco (shown) and Hornby etc look good, or why not make your own?
Fitting
First switch off all track power. Then clip the Buffer Light fits between the two rails - the easiest way to fit is to hold it at a slight angle
inside the two rails and then gently twist it round to fit inside the inner rails. You can either leave it free standing or apply a small
amount of glue to hold it onto your buffer stop.
If you wish you can enhance the Buffer light either by painting or adding extra detail - just be sure that any paint etc is not conductive
which could affect the electronics.
DCC and DC model railways
The Buffer Light will work on both digital DCC and conventional 12 volt DC control systems.
With DCC both of the red lights stay on with a constant brightness all of the time that the track is powered.
On DC systems only one light will come on and will vary in brightness depending on the controller setting. Note that if points etc
isolate the section of track where the buffer is fitted it will not light.
The Buffer Light uses very low power LEDs for the lights and because the whole product takes less than 2mA (just 2 thousandths of
an amp!) almost any controller can power lots of them on your layout.
Caution
Switch off power before fitting anything! The Buffer Light is made from a fibreglass printed circuit board with thin copper plating and
tracks which connect the inside of the rails to the miniature resistor at the base of the post and LEDs at the top - take care not to
damage these delicate components or the special plating near the rails when handling or decorating them. The buffer light can be
removed and refitted to the track but it is not designed to do this frequently.
This product is not a toy and has small parts which may choke or harm a child. Always take care when using electricity, tools,
adhesives and paints, especially when children or pets are nearby.
