I bought them at Fry's electronics. Even though these run off of 6-12 volt batteries, note the starting and output voltages, and be careful. Even house current is only 115-120 volts
They measure 1-3/4" x 3/4" x 5/8"h
Thd drives come rated for six and 12 volts and, depending on the rating, will drive one to two bulbs. (But only one 22mm(9")x3mm bulbs ever)
I used three drivers and 5 bulbs to light this model.

I've got some really small el wire dirvers. I removed them from the casing they came in which is mainly there to hold the batteries. It drives up to two feet of wire got them from <a HREF="http://neontrim.com/catalog/product_inf ... df3a1fad45" target="_blank">neon trim</A> (took a while to ship).
I can try and put some pics up of the driver board if you need to see just how large they are.
BTW that's a beautiful model Umi. Have to take a second look to realize it's a model and not somone's new living room.
