Custom snow plow part/Christmas layout.

Excellent. Thanks Tramp. Yeah I was struggling to find the right fit. I ordered a bunch of dual AA battery packs/housings, only to find they were a hair two big. So I instead fitted two AAA packs/housings. I will have to look into the button cell batteries. Do you find they stay useful for awhile? I mean do the batteries die very often?

I am toying with the idea of stringing all of the coaches together and using a set of 10 LED's that run on two AA and fitting a rear caboose or flatbed with a tarp like housing to cover. Not sure how that may work though. I like the one super did with the red coaches.

Awesome videos BTW. Very Nice work...

Thank you, yeah, the cr2032 is perfect for things like this,



As you can see it's so much smaller, yes your right with them being smaller they don't last as long as AA's but to be honest they do have a good life span, when I bought them I bought a big cheap pack (from China) and they aren't expensive in comparison to AA batteries.

Your right stringing several carriages together would work fine, personally I don't like running wires between carriages, my son isn't very careful when separating rolling stock and I haven't found any plugs/sockets suitable for attaching/detaching between carriages. But in reality you could power your whole train from x2 AAA batteries if you wanted too,

Great idea with the silhouette's in the Windows, a good step towards realism I bet it was a fiddly job. As super says, painting the inside of your carriage in say black prevents light leaking through the carriage walls, I never got around to painting mine, although, yours don't look to leak any light. I suppose your external paint will do the same job as painting the inside!

Keep up the good work,

-p.s. I just read over my post, I said I had used cr3032 button cell batteries, but I was wrong, it was cr2032 batteries, I've changed my post accordingly! I don't actually know what the difference between the batteries are, but cr2032 are considerably cheaper!
