The ModelSigns Model Railway Lighting Wiring Starter Kit is designed to make the process of installing and powering lights and other accessories on your layout easier than ever!

This kit contains nearly everything you’ll need to install at least 10 sets of lights to your layout (additional parts so you can add more lights can be purchased here).

When using ModelSigns Premium lights the entire solution is solder free, or for non-premium ModelSigns lights, simply use the supplied resistors and heat shrink.

Lights and accessories from other manufacturers can also be used, but please take care to check the operating power requirements and make sure these will not exceed the maximum supply capability of the power supply.

New for 2025 - Our lighting starter kits now contain a set of 3x On/Off rocker switches, to allow you to turn on/off certain lights if desired, as well as including slightly thicker 2.5mm and 1.5mm (vs 2mm and 1mm) wire for easier installation.
