Normally so would I, but I blame t'other Brian for suggesting their 'twinkler' kits for my station lighting and then pointing out how inexpensive their servo controllers are. It's never good to put temptations my way.
Definitely not going anywhere near computers for my layouts though.

My first attempt at witchcraft courtesy of a couple of MERG twinkler kits. I will need two more to drive all the station lamps and then I will have the challenge of mounting them under the boards and some overhead soldering.

Strange. I’ve changed the setting from moderate to safe to see if that makes any difference.
Don’t get over excited, it’s only a few flashing lights.

After naked cyclists Barry, I suspect some flashing was a bit tame. :D
