Resistors

Recently bought an nscale dwarf signal and resistors we’re protected by plastic cover. Are these available for us?

Ebay is full of resistors, if that is what you are asking.

If you are asking about a plastic cover for the resistors, no one is going to know since you haven’t told us who manufactured the signals and resistor “protectors” haven’t been discussed that I know of.

Not sure what’s being asked here in terms of application. And
therefore not sure what is achieved by encasing a resistor in plastic, shrink tubing or anything else for that matter. An up-close photo of the signal in question might help out for at least a few of us.

Nscale dwarf signal made by nj- three lites wwith Plastic shield for each resistor

We are getting warm. But, NJ International’s website is terrible. Entries on their left side menu bar are dead ends. This is the picture they show for the Nscale dwarf signal and they would have been hard pressed to have a smaller picture.

Since you bought the signals and they have resistors, we still aren’t clear what you are asking.

Are these available for us?

Nor at all clear what you are asking. What are “these” that you refer to? Resistors, plastic covering of bare wiring, etc? And/or, what is your concern?

Or for the U.S.?

hey, those pictures are actual size - for Z scale!

NJ International is certainly a US company.

The description is odd. LED signal with plastic shield for resistors. I would hope that if they cover the resistors with heat shrink or some other sort of enclosure where you can’t see the value, they would then tell you either the value of the resistor, or the voltage they are designed to work on.Without that information, or a visual on the resistor, it’s going to be hard figuring anything out short of testing to destruction.

It dawned on me that maybe the OP is calling the Light Emitting Diode a resistor?

“Plastic shield” being the visor over the signal lens, maybe.? Some of my Oregon and NJI signals came with 1.2mm axial LEDs.

Today, of course, you can get 0402 LEDs pre-wired that would fit into just about any N scale housing. I just put some into a PRR dwarf and it was like microsurgery — but it works!

That’s an HO Kadee #5 in my fingers.

Perhaps the OP is looking for raw LEDs?

Good Luck, Ed

I hopen the OP posts a picture of what he is looking for.

From the decription, I have no idea what this thread is about.
