I was searching for LED's for some new diecast 1:24 scale models. I had not previously but hobbyist LEDs before. I stumbled across modeltrainsoftware.com and they seem to have the LEDs that would work for me and my project. Products arrived promptly and although there was a small issue was my order, they really were accommodating to make things right with it. I am a very satisfied customer and will definitely buy from here again!

In process of installing LEDs on a 1/25 scale RC fishing boat. Different size lights, some short runs that have to unplug, two lights up a wood mast, Evan Designs helped.

I was initially looking for information. These guys are very helpful. I ordered some fiber optics that came promptly. When my project reaches the right point, I will order additional products.
Great Company! Unlike another well-known company I dealt with recently that had probably the worst customer service I have ever had.
This company is great and I think other companies can learn from their excellent customer service.Nov-12-2019Russell -

I used a pair of these in a Marx 1998 diesel after figuring out how to do directional lighting with the Marx motor and it works perfectly! I have used a few of these LED's in other Marx Locomotives where a regular bulb would burn too hot and potentially melt the plastic.

These are great items and work really well. I looked for a replacement for my lost Led arc welder simulation and was not happy to see most of the ones on Ebay were with a PC board. My lost one was just leds and worked great. I was happy to fine Evans had products that worked well and very easy to incorporate on my layout. Very nice company and wonderful products.

Just discovered this company and bought my first light kit with 3 LED lights. Not too expensive compared to a pricier lighting system that I bought previously. Easy to set up and hook up, but be sure to watch the video on the website on how to do it and it will be easy to do; otherwise, you struggle a little with it. Battery powered LEDs are the only way to go for lighting miniature models and Evan Designs makes it easy. I am buying again and lighting up more of my HO model railroad buildings.

bought some of these little flashing LED lights to hook up under the hood of my cars to deture rodents from nesting and chewing on the wires of my new car. The draw is so little and they are pretty bright in the dark, so for only a couple of bucks,I thought I would give it a try. After the first week, seems to working.

I'm a potter and was working on a "special" project, a submarine, which I wanted to incorporate lighting into it. I stumbled upon Evan Design's website, and was both amazed and the wealth of info/products and overwhelmed with the choices -- no personal background in working with the LED's. Dave and I corresponded as well as talked over the phone -- very, very helpful! As of this post, the clay sub is presently "in progress" of being fired, so I am unable to comment on the final results related to the LED installation.

A few years ago I discovered Evens Designs in my quest for a scratch-built model ship the Golden Hind. I wanted to be able to add lights to her in order that we could enjoy looking at her moor hours of the day, hence turning my little model ship into a very nice night lamp. To make it even nicer I choice ole of there AC power packs and also a remote control to pot the whole thing together.
With the help [ Evens Designs] they put together all of the items that I needed. This all went together very easily, much to my surprise and also at a very low price. Much lower than I had previously figured.
I am in my second year of a Plank on Frame model ship the Oliver Cromwell, a 1777 American Privateer that I am also adding Led Lights from Evans. This ship will be completely finished on one side and with a number of cut-outs on the other side. Thanks to Evens again for putting to gather all of the items needed for this task. They have done a great job and I recommend them very highly for all of there help.

I haven't installed the flashing 1.8mm led's yet, but based on the other products I have order from you over the years, I'm sure they are what I'm needing. I really like the led's that have the attached harness. It makes using them for everything, loco head and rear lights, building interior lights, etc. very easy to use. I'm in the process of building a 36 inch model of a Great lakes Ore Boat, HO Scale, which will have Evan Designs led's used throughout. These led's are the best I have ever found for modeling projects.

I’ve been puzzled by the new DCC technology and adding prototypical lighting to my collection of HO scale locos and passenger cars. I had purchased a few packs of the Evans LEDs from the hobby shop, but still was not sure of what I had. So after installing a few in RPO and baggage cars I decided to call Evans. I learned a lot more talking to the lady. I purchased several several more different combination and single lights. I had a Walthers ATSF 8-2-2 Pullman sleeping car and had put people in the seats in each compartment. So knowing from experience that the lighting can vary in each separate compartment I purchased the 12 LED string with one bridge rectifier and resistor which fit across the top of the men’s lounge with the double wire with LEDs wound back and forth placing one LED in each compartment or bedroom. The warm white LEDs were a bit bright. So I used Evans idea of using paint to to darken them at different intensity with acrylic primer grey. It looks great! Only two solder joints were required with the 12 LED string. I used HO rail joiners to solder to the 2 wires, then slid the joiners onto the Walthers spring steel electric contacts that refuse to take solder. With the good tight fit on the electric tabs, the Evans light kit does not flicker like the Walthers factory installed lights in the identical passenger cars. I’ve got some other loco and car projects lined up to install Evans LEDs. Thank you, Steve Rippeteau, retired ATSF conductor.

Customer service is wonderful! We ordered various lights and remote control for a costume. The mega was the brightest and would have been perfect for our needs (theater performance of Gypsy). However we decided the wiring might not be sturdy enough to sew into the costume and hold up to sweat and movement, so we had to return. This is a wonderful company. I would love to see them expand and offer waterproof wiring/tubing/taping (pre-wired) able to withstand excessive human movement, along with infrared remote options that don't require a transmitter to be in line of sight. There is a great need for it, and I'm sure they would get a lot of business because other options are very limited on the web.

I wanted to light up an Ecto-1 toy that I installed in my Ghostbusters pinball machine. These LEDs were perfect and the final build looked amazing! The LEDs were easy to work with, and the build quality was excellent. The wiring was strong and well-connected with heat shrink tubing. I would definitely buy again!

I like the variety of products and dependable delivery. I am converting a small resin lighthouse (<3 in tall) to one that slow flashes by cutting off top and re-constructing with parts from ball point pen barrel, LED and misc.hardware. A lot of work for something totally frivolous, but that's what makes it fun. I'm new at modeling but it's a nice distraction from serious-minded stuff. Nice job with your website.
Aug-19-2019John Freeman -
I've use Evan Designs for a good number of years and passed on their site to many Facebook modelers. Their offerings are well made and stand the test of time. Many builds require final sealing and builders loose the access to LED replacement. Have never had a failure once ED's LEDs were installed. Great device as well!

Running o-scale model railroad pre-war and post-war meant lighting was always an issue. Evan Designs has a remarkable line of low voltage AC LEDs that have allowed me to add flashing lights to towers and bridges, light up buildings and I use them in passenger cars and locomotives. Amazing products at a great price.

I scratch build my own O scale model train structures and have been using Evan's Designs LEDs for several years now and they add a whole new level of realism to my projects . They are already ready to go so they can be used and I dont have to worry about resistors or if they will work with my structures. They even work with a 9volt battery for a mobile display if I want to move them. Now I'm working on a 1/48 scale B-17 and going to light it up with there new air craft lighting board for the strobes and navigation lights. This I'm not building from scratch but it's a huge challenge but I have buildt a few of these before about 20 years ago so I know how cool they can turn out if done correctly, but with lights? WOW that's going to look absolutely amazing. I cant wait and plan to post pictures on this site. One more very important thing. Actually probably the most important is the customer service at Evan's designs is the BEST. Something you just dont see anymore. David has spent more time talking to me to make sure my order is right and what I want and doesnt rush me. He has even answered his phone and helped me when he wasn't at work. Who does that today. That's committed. If I have a problem it's taken care of not next week not tomorrow. That day. Also there prices are very reasonable and shipping is free if you order a minimum of like $35. Even if you dont it's only like $5.
That's why I keep coming back and will continue to come back. It's also the only place you can find unique stuff like this at these prices you just cant find anywhere else.Aug-14-2019David M -

I recently entered into the world of LEDs for models, particularly aircraft and ships- the scale of which has brought me to detailing like never before, and the products here are fantastic to work with! My next level excitement is stemming from their products expanding, and covering some pretty cool detail concepts!
The ease of assembly, when purchased correctly, makes for such an exciting modelling experience, never mind that the customer service has always been great!
...had a package go missing in the world of the postal service, and there was no hesitation sending a new package out. ...Super cheerful on the phone, and I always have faith in their products!

I chose the warm white in all three sizes. I ruined one kit (I think I glued it to death!) The send time was the charm. The kit was easy to install in the small roombox that houses my project, it works, and the switch (which I mounted on the outside back of the box is easily turned on and off without having to see it. All-in-all, I don't think you can beat these kits for the price.

I purchased your Brickyard system so that I could make some retaining walls for a small hill with rail tunnels inside it, I had tried to make some out of Oak bark but my attempts failed miserably. I used the random cut grey stonework in 1:76 scale and printed out and glued to cardboard from a breakfast cereal packet to stiffen the printout, I think it has turned out ok.
I haven't taken any photo's yet as there is still more to do but I am happy with it so far.
The only addition to this set of walling styles I would like to have had included would be a few styles of roofing tiles and slates to make a very useful set into an excellent all purpose set of printouts.Aug-05-2019Peter FarringtonRelated items: Brickyard: Need Brick for your designs?

You guys are great! I can make things that are a fraction of the cost of the big manufacturers.

I model HO scale marine lights for the Cape & Islands RR club at Centerline Hobbies. This includes navigation buoys, lighted rock piles, jetties and lighthouses. I use Evans LEDs, battery snaps, switches, connectors and other products. I have an engineering background and I could cobble together these lights on my own. I would rather spend my time on building the models. I keep a supply of Evans products on hand to save time and stay focused on doing what I enjoy most - building models, not electronics.

One trick I’ve learned to achieve balance with LED’s is to install warm white next to a cool white bulb. Usually one of each, but sometimes 2 cool and one warm. It takes the yellow haze out of the room I’m wiring/lighting.
