Pretty expensive, though looks prototypical. I was thinking about using (larger) flashing LEDs with one of the Athearn blue box trucks that have wheel pickup for lighting.

Yes, works very nicely. I bought one and installed it on a boxcar.

Very complicated thought. Put the truck on the car. Put the car on the track. EOT lights up when the DCC system is powered up.

If you ever fall over in public, pick yourself up and say “sorry it’s been a while since I inhabited a body.” And just walk away.

  I have 3 of them - pretty fool-proof.  They seem to handle power outages quite well.  I have noticed that they continue flashing for a few seconds after the DCC power it turned off on the layout.
