Aren't they just something special
I must admit to being blown away by them, the level of detail and the sheer quality of the printing on them, they are just works of art. These particular ones are not illuminated, however I understand the generic ones made by Bachmann are. As such I'm sure it would be possible to illuminate these and odds are I will do so at some point using some SMD LED strips, all I'd need to do is source some pickups and some suitable insulated axle wheels (Hornby do some nice metal ones).
I do have another batch on the way also, these are generic 'Christmas Express' ones rather than these snow/wolf themed ones, that is going to be awesome as there a good number of carriages/cars including a caboose. All I need to do now is source the appropriate loco to go with them and I'll have two lovely trains...

Happily collecting things all my life...
