Bravo! Took my idea and vastly improved it! I think I may do a hybrid of your ideas and mine, as I still like the concept of having removable bulbs, whether they be LEDs or incandescents...

As you probably know they do have direct fit led bulbs to replace the original bulbs, although the light pattern is not as full as the standard incandescent bulb so it does not appear quite as bright. Still I have replaced one of my 260 unit incandescent bulbs with that led bulb. The other 260 bulb for some reason never lit as brightly as the other unit and I left the original incandescent bulb in so both units light brightness appear about the same now.

I have Fastrack, but I took a different route and used a Lionel Fastrack adapter to a small section of tube track so no modifications were needed to my Fastrack.

Below is how the led bulb looks.
