I'm interested in adding some simple electronics to my models -- for example, lights, motorized lifts, and so on. Ideally, I'd be able to run (well-hidden) wires from the various lights and motors to some control panel where I would have switches to (...) (20 years ago, 10-Aug-04, to lugnet.parts)

I'm looking to add some simple electronics to my LEGO layouts -- a porch light here, a motorized gizmo there, nothing fancy. I don't want to invest in a train set just yet. But apparently, buying only from LEGO.com, there is no way to do what I want (...) (20 years ago, 11-Aug-04, to lugnet.parts, lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

(...) Years back I had started converting my 9v train engines for lights. The idea was to light up some of the cars on a train. I used LEGO wire jumpers that I cut to tap off the motor, but you can always use off the shelf battery holders and wire (...) (20 years ago, 11-Aug-04, to lugnet.parts, lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

I had hoped it was going to be just a little hiccup, but I had hedged and gather lights/plates/you name it when ever they had them on sale, enough for my plans, but never imagined they would wipe the 'concept of lighting' out, but it sure looks that (...)
