SL LED drop ceilings showing 5 and 3 mm warm white LEDs for proper color temperature and light distribution (like lighting a movie set or you own home). SL LED controller is mounted on the ceiling over the sink area out of view but easily accessed for dim the lighting as desired (note blue potentiometer on LED controller for dimming and voltage adjustment), see SL LED controller instructions for proper use.

Optional DCC decoder Control: with remote dimming of zones of lighting in the caboose (coach lamps, cupola, rear area, center area, and front area as well as seating booth at the front of the car. Additional parallel wired LEDs in adjacent cars can easily be controlled using the Massoth 8FL DCC decoder or any decoder with PWM outputs for 8 zones of lighting and dimming via DCC. Schematics available with purchase upon request.
Power adjacent cars from the caboose track or LED power: The 18 inch micro power cables at each end of the car are connected to track power for power adjacent cars or more power to the loco.

Bottom view showing the wheels upgraded with 2 each PIKO 36161 Metal Wheel sets - 4 wheels on the left have polished axle weights for power pickup.
One truck (2 axles/4 wheels) is upgraded with the Shourt Line SL 6011604 Extreme low drag power pick-ups for Ball Bearing like performance with greater reliability and no maintenance problems as with carbon brush pickups..
The power pickup is so low drag that the caboose keep rolling off my photo table until I blocked one of the wheels. This only happens with all ball bearing wheel cars! I did however put some of our Nano-diamond Oil on the axles and pickups which is a great way to turn all your wheels into ball-bearing wheels! Check our store for the soon to be released Nano-Diamond Oil that has solid 4 nanometer spherical diamonds (ball bearings) to keep your all your wheels rolling.
Don't miss the caboose, it will be coupled to a train shortly and pulled away.
