I opened a Spectrum passenger car and the light wires were both off. These wires are tiny and seem tough to re-solder. Any ideas?
Unless you operate in the dark a lot, passenger car lighting is really pretty useless. Most of it is way too bright anyway. How many of you have ever ridden a passenger train at night? If you have, you'll know what I mean.
I disconnect lighting that might come with what I buy. Window shades contribute to passenger car realism much more, in my thinking, especially as it hides lack of seated passengers in most cases.
I will fix these lights. The 2 wires attach to 2 little metal bars down the window to a connection on the floor. I just have to get these little wires set to connect on each side to the floor. Very tiny wires to work with.
I did solve the problem with Fox Valley passenger light strips. Applied with double sided foam tape. Easy and works great, 3 round batteries(included) is all the power. Wave the magnet wand over 1 end and they're on. Wave it again and they're off. Nice LED lights. Constant.
