A couple of Yorks ago I purchased two sets of Blue Comet cars from the guy that sells the MTH stuff unboxed. One was a Premier set and one a Railking. Since they are two different sizes I thought mixing them in the same train would look fine. I have the Lionel Legacy Blue Comet Pacific and an Older MTH Premier that was upgraded to PS2 They looked great running but the missing link was the lighting It seems the Railking set had much better lighting than the Premier set I installed LED lighting in both and they look awesome now Here is a video

The cars look great and couldn't tell the difference between the RK and Premeire.

Wow they look great. That is a nice train. I can't tell the difference between the cars, either.

This is terrific. I bet they pull less power too. Any particular LEDs that you used?

The lights appear quite blue - is that my computer, or are these particular LEDs that way? Or is that right for a Blue Comet?
