I have lite all my LGB coach cars with battery powered LED's ( 2xAAA ) and hid the battery pack in the top, cutting out a little of the patrician at one end and shoving the battery holder under it. Added a very small slide switch in the clearstory area that I got at a RC hobby shop. Used 10mm soft white LED's colored with a yellow high lighter pen. Used copper tape, type used to make stained glass windows with, taped on top of a styrene tube and secured the tube in the stock location of the roof where it is designed for incandescent lighting. Soldered wiring from battery holder and switch to copper strips which I had soldered the LED's to. Easy to turn on and off. Accidently left 1 car on for 3 weeks and found it one night with the lights still lit, and still haven't changed the batteries. No wiring shows and no flicker, thought I would share my idea with the forum, Bill. previously posted on GRW forum
