Didn't realize it has been so long since I last posted here.
Today we are introducing the Purple People Eater A modified double Cargo Liner that are coupled together and have an LED lamp in each cab. LED's are powered from the second engine with a 9 volt battery. I took a spare motor and removed everything from the inside (motor & gears) I then wired the 9 volt battery in to the empty motor housing and connected it and the LED's to the motor switch. The lights are now turned on and off using the motor switch on the second engine. As you can see, the Purple People Eater carrys a lot of PlaKids for something to nibble on.
Also, something new for the layout. I have been wanting a Space Needle or CN Tower that either was lighted or one I could modify to light. Wasn't having much luck as everything I had seen was some kind of 3D puzzle or Lego/Nano blocks which I didn't want. Stumbled across this perfect model of the Tokyo Sky Tree from Bandai. No glue is needed for assembly and it
is either lit by a blue LED through the center of the Tower or a purplish LED from outside the Tower (I prefer the center light).
