BI Colour LED

[wimorrison]

I am looking for some red/white bi-colour LEDs to use on a loco with DCC where it can drive either way - actually a BEMO Railbus - and I would like to add lights as this model actaully has enough space to fit them in.

I cannot find any red/white LEDs, I am sure that someone will have seen some - at least I hope so

Many Thanks

Here's a link to a 2mm lighthouse bi-colour LED. It seems as though these are red-yellow, but there is a reference to being useful for model railways, so I guess it depends on whether the yellow is too yellow, or looks like a prototype white marker light.

If this is of no use, a google search should bring up lots of options...

DCC it is then - I have to admit that googling wasn't turning up anything useful. There were a couple of reverse polarity red/white LEDs but that doesn't suit us whereas the 3 legged style from DCC is perfect.

Many Thanks

Strictly speaking the "3 Legged Style" LED's are known as Tri-Colour LED's, since you can gain a third colour by using both LED's at the same time.
