I have a Marklin HO #4411 boxcar with center pickup shoe that powers a lighted marker lantern on the end of the car.  I would like to convert it for use with standard two rail EZ track and DCC so lantern will still work like it does on Marklin "third rail" track.   Any suggestions for conversion?   

Thanks,

You need to cut the  LED's leads and replace the wheelsets with isolated ones. You then need to rewire the LED's leads to the axles.
