The Bachmann Tamper was fitted with a TCS M4 decoder. This gave me enough functions to run white lights, red lights and the Rotary Beacon.

The Decoder sits down beside the motor, held in place with double-sided tape.

The white and red lights are 3mm LEDs with fibre optics. The Rotary beacon is a 2mm LED.
