They moved it to December according the mth site
Anyone heard any rumors on this sets release date? I have one on pre order for xmas but if it doesnt get released before that then I will look for something else.
I spoke to mth not to long ago, and they said it definitely won't be in time for Christmas, and the set should be available in early or mid January.
Ahh man alright. I guess I will get something else

I spoke to them about late november about it

It comes down to, if you want it, you want it.
Will the new one still be the 6 train or a different line?

Can you post a video of it 
No red lights in reverse, lower set of lights turn on white. Im more interested in adding red leds to the last car which have no lights at all.
Some guy did it on youtuube to his LIRR m7 set.

Im new to leds what size should the leds be ?
I'm not sure what size until I get my set and take a look. I would say probably 3mm. I'll post when I get the set scheduled for tomorrow.

How would LEDs lights be wired for power? Can it be easily done?
How would LEDs lights be wired for power? Can it be easily done?
Very easy. Evens LED's are the best in my opinion. The resistor is already in the wire so all you need to do is tie in one wire to the hot and one to the ground. I usually tie into the wires for the interior lights. Here is a link to what you need. It's just a matter of the size which I think the 3mm will work. I need the car in hand to make sure of that.
