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 control it all.

Here's the rub: I can't afford the time or money for a Mindstorms set.  I • know
there are some standard parts for lights, but what are the standard power
supplies for these?  And, are there any standard switches for controlling • them,
or would I have to visit parts.custom for those?  Finally, what are the • smallest
standard motors available?

(Please forgive me if these are newbie questions -- I'm a newbie!)

Thanks,

Hope I didn't confuse you or go offtopic too much.  If you need more
clarification, don't hesitate to ask.

  idea: beginner's (non-Train) electronics kit
 
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)
