Flickering Flame circuit

[Grey]

I am building a model village and would like to add a small lighting effect
to simulate a candle/flame burning. Is there a way I can drive a small bulb
of around 6-9v to produce "random" levels of brightness to simulate a flame?

Hmmm I was just working on this for an architect. There's a lot of
schematics here;

and when I was doing research I found a site with a lot of these
effects for a model railroad. If I find it again I'll post it.
