This set is new to me, but I’d like to investigate kicking the end of train lighting up more than a notch. Anyone do this? If so, how did you light the three aspects, and was the end result worth the effort? Any problems to watch out for? I have done this modification to other observation cars using Stan2004’s method, which worked well, but this car has an interior and “streamlighting” which may force a change in method. Any advice out there? Thx in advance.

Model Rr software makes a 3 SMD leds off of one board. IT's just a two wire hook-up to power and worth the effort in looks.

BobbyD, gotcha, I am familiar with that site, thx. I’ll look around.
Take a look at RoysTrainz (a Forum sponsor). They have a great LED lit which includes overhead lighting, and LEDs for the rear and marker lights. You won’t be disappointed.
Thx guys, got a handle on led sources. Was looking at methods of install. Discovered burned out grain of wheat bulb for EOT white light, so that was replaced with a 3mm led. Problem with the red marker lights is that they are just blobs of plastic formed into a lens pegged to each side of the car(see pic). Any suggestions other than to bore a hole through car wall and into red lens(each side I guess) 4 holes, then glue in a nano or pico led into the hole? Wonder if they will be too bright!? Those little leds put out a lot of light. Welcome any and all ideas. Won’t go further till I have a good plan.
