Thanks for all the help, I was considering the LED idea as I had done that to some MTH passengers cars and they tuned out great... So just to clarify, instead of pulling up the track to install insulated rail joiners, I can't just add a second transformer (Z1K) to the same TIU input? Will that overload/cause problems? Is there any way to rewire without pulling up the track?
Thanks so much for your help.

Kevin,
You might be putting too much power through the TIU and cause it over heat by adding in the Z-1000 as a second transformer on the same input.
Go with lower watt lights or less powered units on the train.
I have not heard of anybody putting adding more power to a Z-4000 as it puts out a very large of amps. You might be able to put two Z-1000's together but not a Z-4000 and a Z-1000, as you may overload the Z-1000 and have it burn out on you as it won't happen right away but might take 2 to 6 months to happen.
