Description
The Circuitron 1302 End-Of-Train Flasher Red Light is a driver circuit that produces the prototype End-Of-Train (EOT / FRED) red-flashing pattern for the last car of a freight train.
What it does: Drives a small red LED or 1.4 mm red incandescent at the prototype EOT flash rate, mimicking the FRED (Flashing Rear-End Device) seen on every modern North American freight train since the early 1980s.
- Flash pattern: Prototype EOT slow-strobe red
- Drives: Red LED or 1.4 mm red incandescent bulb
- Power: Battery or track-power adapter (TP-2 / TP-3)
- For: Caboose-replacement / FRED scenes on the last freight car
- Circuitron SKU: 1302 (Walthers 800-1302)
Tip: Pair with a Circuitron 1031 strobe driver on the locomotive for a complete prototype-correct train.
About Circuitron: A USA-made model-railroad electronics specialist (Maryville, Illinois) founded in the 1970s. Famous for the industry-standard Tortoise slow-motion under-table switch machine and its surface-mount cousin the SMAIL. The full range covers detection (block detectors, Opto-Sensor grade-crossing logic), automation (auto-reversers, external relays, twin-coil alternators), signal / lighting electronics (alternating flashers, ditch-light oscillators, strobe drivers), power supplies, and a complete set of Tortoise / SMAIL replacement parts plus the solderless ZipZ connection system. Most circuits work with AC, DC, or DCC track power unless specifically noted otherwise.
