RhB Passenger Car Factory Interior Lighting parts / assembly request

[POLO_Train]

I got the track power turned on for my storage yard to start to do some programming of LGB switch modules, and I realized my RhB 3069 Baggage car does not have interior lighting.
I wish to match the old LGB lighting system in the 1990s RhB passenger cards (i.e. 3067), so that the 3067 matches the lighting the restaurant car and passenger cars.


(Reference photo of 3069 that doesn't have lighting)

Below are the3067 top "light bar" and board with the connectors the end.

Does anyone know what the factory part numbers are for the lighting kit for the older RhB passengers?
Also, where I can buy them?

There are solid core risers at the end of each car taking the power up from the trucks to the roof, Any ideas how to source those too?







I may use the electrical contact set instead of the newer metal wheels:

LGB 63193 Electrical Contact Set, 2 pieces

Check out the deal on LGB 63193 Electrical Contact Set, 2 pieces at LGB Model Trains, LGB Locomotives, Garden Train Sets, G Scale Model Trains,

I am just fitting out the cars with passengers and luggage, and I wish to get the lighting done in the baggage car to match the rest of the train!
Thank you!

The cars getting fitted out:






Smaller side project will be to get lighting added to the panoramic car too, but not too sure how I wish to go about it just yet.
Please let me know if you have any ideas for the little panoramic car lighting.
Thanks again!

I would be tempted to do the wire from scratch and perhaps using LED’s with suitable electronics to stop being blown by track power. Slightly more subdued and less lights would be more appropriate for a luggage van.

not just as small, but i simply use the crimped connectors they sell for auto-mobile electric.

You don't want to!
They will cost you around 38p per connector.

Use the female crimps that are used in JR/Futaba/HiTech servo connectors, and a length of small-bore heatshrink instead.

I was able to find some parts, but the risers will be difficult to find somewhere for these old cars.
The service manual shows them as (38) and (37). I would have to bend them by hand if I really wish to make the light addition with all original parts.
Additionally I believe finding the clear plastic light diffusers will also be very difficult. Shown as 2x (21) in the service manual.

Or I guess I could retro fit to LED, like the Massoth analog led strips:

To get the wire risers you could consider using a straw, I have used the ones that have a flexible bit in them with success using ether black or white ones. Passing the wires through these when fitted in a corner make them unobtrusive. As for difusers you could experiment with light coats of water based acrylic paint.
