Here is the first lighted coaches I did. I had a couple of these "East" shinkasen trains that have the headlights so I added a 3V light to each one and then used connectors to connect one to the next. in the 2nd iteration I chose to just put a 3V button battery (CR2032) in each coach... why? because a 5y/o and 3y/o don't really understand that the connectors aren't meant to act like a whip to swing around the car. at any rate, take a look.
thanks Super for the inspiration!

here is a building mod that I did (inspired by Super, who did a much better job). If you're wondering why a building would have flashing lights? cause that's what 5 year olds dig. And the choice of decals is just to amuse myself. (07-07-2018, 06:58 PM)kmott Wrote: Here is the first lighted coaches I did.

I am loving all that you have done Kmott, brilliant! Love what you did with the button battery's and the placement of an on/off switch on the coach. I have been meaning to try this method out but never got around to it but you have now inspired me to do it.
You idea of how to replace the battery cover on Bumble Bee James is fantastic and it looks great. That blue engine is from the Discovery Kids set https://www.blueplastictracks.com/showth...hp?tid=298 I am loving how your station turned out especially the signage on the back wall. Are those decals, they look great? Great work on all Kmott
thanks Super, yes, decals I got at a train store somewhere... and thought, "i have to have these..."

so here is a police train. I think its from the Hyper City but not 100% sure. I looked online and couldn't find anything. the doors that open broke so I painted them blue on the inside so you couldn't see the battery and glued the broken one in place. As Always, I totally forgot to take a BEFORE pic.
Here is a quick Video too. https://youtu.be/gfZCPQXCehU anyhow, the boys were pretty stoked on this one.
here is another building. painted the roof with yellow, then glow in the dark pain, windows, bench, some decals, I also added flickering lights in the smoke stacks (look like fire)
