Keep at it Sid - it will all suddenly become clear.
You need
LEDs
Resistor
Bridge rectifier
and maybe a regulator if your on analogue.

Hello Guys,
Been a little busy, so apologies for the lack of progress and postings.
At present I don't have a reverse loop, but I would assume that any interruption would be momentary as I have used the bridge rectifier on my circuit.
I guess that with DCC you are laughing as there is plenty of constant voltage and loads of amps too.
I have tried loads of options on lighting over the years and all except one have fallen foul of the lack of voltage when running on my automatic system.
The one that worked well was the super capacitor system my chum devised. Maybe I just need to bribe him to make more of them?
Incidentally, I was part of a tour of the Ffestiniog Railway works on Sunday and we saw the new Pullman super observation car (152) under construction and I had a chance to go inside.....
Guess how that is being lit? LED strips all around the roof recess, behind a diffuser! I also noted multiple feed points too and good old miniature chocolate block connectors!
