HELJAN
Constant lights (Rechargeable Batteries) Optional High Intensity Headlight (47)
No Longer In The Dark when Stationary
No Longer the Faster You Go The Brighter The Lights
The new unit replaces the existing PCB just plug in the motors, pickups, lights and roof fan leads.
You only need to mount the switch
Batteries recharge whilst the loco is moving.
£40.00
Includes batteries
Locomotive Lighting Control Unit £38.00
A battery powered (rechargeable) lighting kit, that has front marker lights, rear red lights and where needed one or two white LED headlights. As these units are battery powered they do not go off when the loco is stationary (direction is taken from the track), after the loco has been stationary for about 10-15 seconds the headlight goes out leaving the marker lights on just as if the driver has got out of the cab switching off the headlight. The LEDs for each end of the loco are attached to a PCB board that plugs into the front of your loco just let me know what loco you are modeling. Comes complete with battery pack, charging socket (charges from a normal controller) and full instructions.
First Generation DMU Lighting Control Unit £38.00
As above only with Bi-coloured LEDs suitable for first generation DMUs etc.
Smoke Unit
Electronically Controlled with Battery Pack etc £86.00
In the quest for realism on model railways, the generation of smoke
has been subject to attempts which fall short of achieving the desired effect,
Previously the model smoke generators have been connected to the traction
supply, so smoke is produced to the load and speed, when watching a full size
diesel locomotive starting from rest a large cloud of smoke is ejected, To
achieve this effect in model form we have developed a battery powered smoke
generator, This is a natural development to our locomotive lighting units.
A short burst of traction current (insufficient to move the loco)
will start a "pre-heater", After a few seconds the fan starts and a
generous amount of smoke comes from the exhaust. At this time the traction
supply is advanced and the locomotive moves off, after another delay the heater
is switched off followed shortly by the fan This causes the exhaust to fade
slowly as it does on the full size Locomotive !
All the above is powered by on board batteries as there is
little traction current available at this stage. (these batteries also provide
excellent ballast weight ) Now the locomotive is on the move the sensor looks at
the traction current again and adjusts the exhaust accordingly, now using the
traction current to power the heater and fan, thus saving battery power. When
zero traction current is detected for a period of about 10 seconds the unit will
revert back to the start condition indicated by a tiny green LED which as with
the units on/off switch can be mounted anywhere on the locomotive.
The unit caters for continuous running with stops and shunting
moves. Both modes of operation being enhanced with an exhaust unit fitted,
shunting takes on a whole new dimension.
Combined Light and Smoke Unit £107.00
As described above in both the light and smoke unit but shares one set of batteries to help reduce the space required and cost.
Smoke Unit (Fan + Heater unit only) £50.00
This unit can be connected directly to the traction supply. However smoke will only be generated when there is sufficient voltage applied to the track.
Mains Adaptor /
Charger for light Smoke Units
£12.00
