Bachmann suburbans - part 6: Circuit Diagram

So I have ended up using two FlickerFree units to control the two sets of lights - one FF2 to control the carriage light and one to control the rear light. The rear light you could just control from the FL2 and live with the flickering but I have decided not to.

Here is the circuit that I ended up with after much messing about...note that there are actually twelve tiny leds for the carriage lights - only four are shown..also note that the two resistor values are not to be confused 47Kohm is required for the locolamp -less than 10K would probably damage it- wheras 47ohm is required to get the 12 carriage lights to have the sort of brightness one might want (less than you initially think).
