I’m glad you and your family liked it.

I’m using the Aristo (now Crest) Revolution. I wired up the lights on the locos using the HD1/HD2 outputs from the Revo board. I drilled out the backs of the lights to house LEDs and I ran wires either under the frame or carefully with black electrical tape over it to blend it into the existing black lines on the front.

Thomas and Percy both have lights on the front and rear and are directional with travel of the engine. James only has a light on the front. There was no place for one on his tender and it saved wiring.

Here’s what the back of Jame’s headlight looks like with an LED installed.

And here’s the inside so you can see where the wires come up inside.

Allen, a friend of mine made that train. As far as I know it is the only one like it. I have sides that he made and the molds to case the side frames so I can make more of the center cars, but the loco and tailcar are one-off.

You realy have something there. The origionil train had 9 cars. Engine 8 coaches 1 tailcar. I was hoping it was something comerchial so I could obtain one.
