golden gate's power? (AC?)

OK, I'm confused, again. Why does a light bulb care whether the electrical power supplied to it is AC or DC? 

Joe,

to answer your question, and support Jack's comment, an incandescent bulb will work fine on AC or DC.

with 60hz AC, you'd have to be a dog to see any flicker from the reversing current.

LED lighting will have a rectifying circuit to handle both.

I don't know? It's better than asking why my basement's cold when I shut the heat off.

Really?

FYI: We use a universal lighting board in all our cars. Runs on AC, DC, DCC. 

The LED light boards can handle 3 - 30 Volts, maybe more. 

Enjoy.

Thank you. I just wasn't sure how the two rail car's boards were wired or if they were different ones just for DC current. How they handle current when the car can be put on the track in opposite directions and a LED will still get the positive. I thought they'd need regulators. I want all my future cars to have LEDs. So I will have to learn what's needed to convert these. Looks like I will just order some boards from 3rd rail when I get more cars.

 These bulbs look like regular bulbs, but I couldn't guaranty it. The board, I can't see up there. Very nice cars.
