DCC light boards for Walther's Milwaukee Hiawatha Passenger Train

[PHARMD98233]

I have recently finished painting the interiors, populating with 1/100 scale people and lighting the Walther's Milwaukee Hiawatha passenger train.  The light boards are DCC friendly  and flicker free with a pot to adjust the light intensity.  I chose incandescent lights and these boards are far better than anything I have found so far.

I used track joiners and a short wire to plug the boards onto the Walther's light tabs which found at the end of the car's interior.  The cars are easy to get into using the twist method.

These light boards are from Streamlined Backshop Services   www.SBS4DCC.com

As a passenger train guy, these boards are my new standard.

I wonder if these would fit Walthers Amtrak Superliner Cars. The Walthers Ligthing Kit for these is 933-6004 and have had problems getting these to work on few cars, there have been many posts about the challenges with this lighting kit - and they are out of stock - any chance you know if the Streamlined backshop Services lights will fit into these Walthers Superliner Cars?

I couldn't say regarding the Walthers Superliner Cars.  That is not my era.

His short board is 8.25 x 0.605x 0.146 inches

His long board is 10.00 x 0.605x0.146 inches

I used track joiners and 2 short pieces of wire to hook onto the electrical tabs on our Walthers cars.

I hope that helps.

Why 1:100 instead of 1:87 HO people?? If I'm any indication, folks here in the Upper Midwest are bigger than average, not smaller....

I have found that 1:87 people fit poorly in the seats and often require bilateral leg amputations.  The 1:100 scale people fit better and require little or no surgery.

1:100 scale people are available on ebay.
