Hello, im french and i have just bought the lionchief Disney Set for Christmas. I'm just a little disappointed because the caboose is not illuminated. i think its very easy to change this, i Can remove the roof, there is a slot for the light, and there are holes in the frame to pass the wire.
But i don't know which pickup could i take ? wich Lionel parts pickup is compatible with the truck?
thank you for your help.

Trying to navigate the Lionel parts site has gotten more complicated with all the advances in technology: So many more parts and product variations.
I don't know if you are actually in France: Most likely you'll have to mail order the parts. Most Lionel parts dealers would probably have these items in stock also. You're going to need a soldering gun and the skills to use it, to solder the wires to the pick up, which does take a little skill as you don't want to melt the plastic on the pick up assembly.
I have no idea whether Lionel makes that part with wires already soldered on to it. I know K-Line at one time did.
Anyways, you'll need a pick-up assembly made for plastic trucks, which is here, part 10 in the list:

But then you'll need the bulb fixture and an 18 volt bulb made for the LionChief power set up, items 7 and 8 on the list. Disregard everything else in the picture as they are diecast trucks instead of the plastic ones you have.
yes im in France, thank you for your answer.I have noted that the pickup part is the same on the polar express coaches. and i have the polar express , so i Can see if it's ok.
