 :)Would like to add some coach lights to my
new layout  I am using the Bachman Commander controller
on this layout.Are there any problems doing this
with digital equipment?Thanks to all.

Do you mean lights in your passenger cars?

Yes they are a set of round house southern cars.
A combine, coach, sleeper,and a business car.
I am using these as they are 50' cars and will work
with my 18" radius curves.My layout is only a 9x4
layout.Thanks for your input.

Just an idea.....I just installed 12 white leds in 6 Old time Truss rod Pennsy Passenger cars....I made the lead car the battery box (9 volt with dropping resistors) and hardwired all 6 cars together...small flexable black wire right across the couplers.going car to car...in a parallel circuit...hardly noticable and they look great when running....2 leds per car....with foil reflective tape in the lids of the cars....and i sanded the leds to diffuse the light.

Battery powered = NO annoying flicker....when the track pickups fail....and no decoders to buy ect.
