I've finally gotten the Santa Fe F3 Warbonnet ABA set I've been wanting since I was a kid. I also got 4 Santa Fe passenger cars. I'll work on the engine second, but right now I would like to upgrade the 4 passenger cars. In case it matters, they are Lionel, numbers 19176 through 19179 inclusive. A picture is at the end.
The three things I would like to do are;
- Add an LED strip to each car. I've added individual LEDs as directional headlights to my #60 trolley, so I'm a little familiar with that technology. I've searched this forum on that subject, but many topics are at least 3 years old. Is there a simple LED strip, preferably warm white, that I can attach to the top of the car? It is 15 inches long.
- Add a base to install seats and real people, instead of the silhouettes. I'm not a very detailed guy (yet anyway), so simple O scale coach seats are okay. I've had a hard time finding those, although in HO they have nice ones. I already have been buying sitting people.
- Obviously take out the silhouettes and replace with a plastic strip. I imagine it would need to be clear, not frosted, right?
Thanks in advance.
