I fitted this train-tech flashing tail lamp to a mk1 full brake...

it was easy.  some cutting / filing / drilling and I had to buy a smaller battery that the one it came with...

a motion sensor makes the light come on and it turns off after a few mins being stationary



n gauge flashing tail lamp

The motion sensor is a neat idea - no need for switches! I would imagine this is based on the technology used for the flashing tyre valve caps that were the rage a couple of years ago.

Any idea where one can source motion sensors such as these? TIA, Brian

This  is the sort of thing they're based on, so might be possible to adapt to a flashing tail lamp:-

I am currently working on something along these lines at the moment. Can't say anything more at the moment. Biggest issue as always with N is getting something small enough to fit that is also reasonably priced.

Looks a very good price but they want £15 for postage to the antipodes!!! B
