I stopped by the lhs yesterday, and noticed on their "details boards" that they had some lighting kits for passenger cars. I had forgotten about that possibility when noting possible sources for electrical pick ups for trucks.

It seems that a lot of model railroading niche stuff falls into what we call "tribal knowledge" at work. I.e. I may take for granted that a certain widget is easy to get a hold of, because my LHS stocks it (or I have family or friends that know about it). Others that don't go to my LHS or know my family or friends (my tribal knowledge base) may assume that that widget is very difficult to get, or may not be aware that the widget even exists. Boards like this serve an invaluable role in getting that knowledge into the larger community (preaching to the choir, I know...  )Dr. Wayne - I'll make sure I keep the lights on in my basement if you meander over!

Matt, thank you for continuing to share your trials and tribulations on this. Following your lead, I previously picked up the same decoder for a passenger car project. I'll am happy to be a part of the Gauge tribe and will greatly appreciate the tribal knowledge you've accumulated in this thread!

Ah yes, gotta love electronics. They can be such a joy...
 Just one thought here. Kerosene lanterns would flicker anyway. So wouldn't a slight flicker make for a bit more realism? (Minus the smoke of a fire of course)  hock:
