I hope I don't cause any ill feelings but I was looking at a low cost alternative for installing LED strip lighting and came across this video on YouTube:

How To Add LEDs To Lionel MPC Passenger Cars

His "design" uses just capacitor and voltage regulator. I'd appreciate any thoughts on this approach.

No hard feelings here, you're free to use whatever technique you find useful.

A couple of points that you don't get with this method.  The first is intensity adjustment, and there is also the lack of DCS compatibility.  Those cars with the huge cap right after a full-wave bridge will hammer the MTH DCS track signal.
