I decided to equip their cars a few lights. Since the term digital control expensive, it was decided to make the light-based decoder DCC.
The choice fell on the decoder Smart Wagon firm ModeLLdepO, suits cost and having sufficient functionality.
First car was the baggage and passenger car from PIKO G Art. 37607:

In the car 4 rooms:

  • job "postal" (freight),
  • postal and luggage,
  • the passenger compartment,
  • vestibule.

Accordingly, it was done 4 lighting groups and 2 groups of train signals the tail of the train (for the first and last car of) - good design selected decoder allows to realize all this.

1. All off:


2. Button F1 , the direction of "back" - Included are trainsets tail lights on the first car of the future 4-carload of used tokostabilizirovanny output of the decoder, which "hanged" two series included, SMD LED red:


3. Button Light includes lighting jobs, luggage and lighting vestibules (all cars in the future composition); lighting is performed using LEDs of the decoder, the segment LED strip and a pair of yellow LEDs connected in series with it:


4. Button F2 is included coverage of the passenger compartment (in the future, all of the cars); lighting accomplished using two segments 12V LED strip super warm white light (2300K), connected in series:


Same, but with LEDs in almost "normal" position:

The next stage of the lighting device: an inter-vehicle mounted socket connector 8-pin, type BLD-2-4. In fact, she "turned" turned into a 7-pin - one jack plugged to create a "key" connector.



One of the highlights of the lighting device, was to preserve the possibility of a complete disassembly of the car and retrieve the decoder with lighting fixtures without the "knife and a soldering iron."

The socket is passed through a through a cutout in the wall of the car (later had to be moved to the bottom of the output destination of the car):

Tail lights of the train - a foil to reduce stray light:


Кабели - межвагонного соединения и токосъёма с колёс:


It remains to put people and "snap the" roof:


Measure the current resulting "object".

Programmer "MD Prog2" idle consumed from the power supply DC 22,5V current 79,4mA .
When you turn on all outputs, consumption increased to 122,6mA - so food decoder and all lighting accounts for 43,2 mA .

Ready Coupling of 2 cars (as a result of planned train of 4 cars):

The cars are connected 7-pin connector:

To pass the S-shaped curve with a radius of 600 mm (R1 PIKO) had to move from place output cable cars to the end wall of the car at the bottom of the car:

Power is supplied to the two extremes of the axes of each car and merged into a common (for all trains) bus:

fantastic!!
 
Nice job, like the thinking of using Trunking as the wire run tidy means.

Neat work and a very nice selection of photos to illustrate how you did it!
