I'd suggest using smd leds and resistors. If you do this, buy more than you need (for the learning curve) and make sure your soldering is up to scratch with a good quality temp' adjustable soldering station. I can do it as long as I'm wearing my glasses and magnifying thingy. Heat shrink is a must to insulate. Decoder wire is good for this, but if they're fixed in place and not likely to be moved, then wrapping wire is good too. Double sided tape is good for holding them down while the first wire is soldered on.
