Lionel DC locomotive operation w/AC lighted cars?

[Anonymous]

Just wanted to find out about operating a Lionel DC powered locomotive with a couple AC-lighted passenger cars, to ape the look of one of my favorite Steam Tourist lines.

Can this be done? Would it burn out the passenger car lights?

Just let me know.

Bhollyfan,

The incandescent lights do not care if they are powered by an AC or DC supply .

Almost forgot - brightness is basically the same. You should have no problem.
