SMD LED sources/prices?

I'm working on some 3D designs for some step and truck lights for my 1/29 locomotives. I figured if you HO scale guys can have working lights, I should be able to as well in 3x scale..

 

My design so far looks like a 0805 SMD LED will fit nicely into the housing.

 

Where are folks finding SMD LED's and what's a good price? I'd prefer them with wires presoldered. Ebay showed a variety of pricing and options but I'm not sure what is a good deal, etc.

Detailing ConCor Passenger Coaches to VIA Rail

Just finished upgrading three N Scale ConCor passenger coaches to VIA Rail HEP. After removing the skirt and manufacturers markings I used a combination of several different MicroScale and Highball Graphics decal sets. 4107 is a ConCor Parlour car I configured as a VIA 1, unfortunately decals for this class are not available. When I find a good graphic or photo, I will create them.

Those little things hard to find.

Hi, I'm a 3D artist willing to deliver quality 3D resin prints.

Would you be interested in purchase 3D printed (painted or not) people, props, buildings...

Or maybe you think there are enough offer in the hobby shops?

Some hobby-friend already showed his interest into having 1890-1900 people kits for G-scale, specially womens due their clothes.

Athearn/Roundhouse old time locomotives

I am considering getting one or two Athearn/Roundhouse "old time" 2-8-0 steam locomotives for my layout. I want the version with DCC and sound. Do any of you have experience with this locomotive that you would be willing to share?

IAIS's West End - On "Model Railroading Live" tonight

For anyone who may be interested, the IAIS's West End will be on "Model Railroading Live" on YouTube tonight starting at 8pm Central.  I'll be doing general Q&A and possibly giving a virtual layout tour.
 

FYI - Foothill Model Works evacuated

Hi all,

FYI - I thought it might be a good idea to post this here as a separate topic so that any customers can get a heads-up that will draw attention and hopefully allay some fears as requested below. 

Copied from another forum, after being relayed from elsewhere -

Due to the death of my younger brother...

I have been unable to post, generate, or even read the articles, and forums. I am in dire need to move on from my loss, and try to continue on as best as I can. So without further problems coming my way, I will give an article about making your own, scale, brass signals. I have taken a break from the control options, as I am trying to recover from the monetary setback, of helping get my brothers personal things taken care of, and then set the family back on course.

Woodinville, WA MOW Shack 1/29 Build

Woodinville, Washington once was the hub of activity of the Seattle, Lake Shore and Eastern, followed by the Northern Pacific, Burlington Northern, BNSF, and finally the home of Eastside Freight Railroad (recently shut down as of August 2020).
