Hi all,
I have changed the cold white color of the. LED's of my D&RGW 3002 GP30 into warm white, simply by painting Tamiya x26 (tranparent orange) over the LED's.
Will try to catch the result in a short film later.
Regards,
Frank

Frank,
The Tamiya orange works well, I just wish it weren't so hard to get. The cellophane (gelatin) photo filters work well too, if I remember its a Wratten #26.
At this point I'm waiting to see what comes out on the Digitrax DCC board.

Mark and all,
I have picked up the Tamiya X26 in an hobby shop for RC models (boats, planes and cars). It is not a typical color to be used for model trains.
See next, the result on youtube:

Also I think Digitrax used orange LEDs for their DCC board (at least I don't think they are white!)
We will play with headlight color for the next run of GP30.

Could be, I' ll guess these are the same as MTL uses. But these LEDs just look orange, these are white light LEDs with an orange filter.
