Passenger car lighting
Posted by cnatale on Wednesday, October 23, 2002 6:38 PM
I was running a couple of my Amtrak trains tonight, and was thinking that my version of the Three Rivers would look much better going around the layout if I could get those marker lights in the rear of the Walthers' Viewliners/Amfleets to illuminate red.

Forgive my ignorance, but I'm not quite sure how to accompli***his. I figure I could pick up power from the rails, but that's about as far as I got. I'm not even sure how to disassemble the cars--admittedly, I haven't really tried...Has anybody done this? Would it be relatively simple? Any suggestions would be appreciated!!!

Thanks!

PS- While on the topic, Any suggestions of how to improve the default "diaphragms" on these cars?
