Nice work on the paint, looking really good!

I've always liked lighting up the coaches for night time running, what do they look like inside? Have you considered running a cr2032 battery for these instead? They make the carriages weigh a lot less so they are easier to pull, and if there are only x2 LEDs they should be plenty adequate, the only carriage I found to need more than a cr2032 was when I was running red LEDs with dropper resistors, there was just too much current demand

In this one,

(Is this the same as your carriage before you painted it?)

I had to mount an AA with which I connected to a voltage amplifier so i could power the rear facing red light and the interior lights, in hindsight I wish I'd mounted a AAA sized battery instead,

This was running the rear carriage on a cr2032


And this was after I upgraded the battery to the AA

You can see the difference in light output, in the first it was the dullest carriage in the rake, and in the second, it was the brightest carriage,

If your just running interior LEDs I'd opt for the cr2032 I each carriage with x2 LEDs
