Can anyone tell me how to illuminate an Atlas O GP60 Unpowered Unit (specifically, an ATSF 1253-1)?

(1) Do Atlas unpowered units need to be connected to a powered unit to be illuminated?

(2) Which parts of the unpowered unit can be lit?  Headlights? Cab? Ditch lights? Number boards?

(3) Can anyone recommend a lighting kit for these units?

Thanks in advance for any information you can give me.

I believe you'll have to install everything. I don't think there's anything inside the dummies for lighting.

I am not aware of a kit for it. So I think the easiest route just might be to get a buck/boost board or the one from Henning's and install all the LEDs in anything you want to be lit. Of course that still means you'll need to install power pick-up points on the engine.

 Stealing the power off of a powered engine would mean having some type of tether connection to it. Probably just as easy to have this engine get it's own power I would think? Would keep it free to run with any other engine you have.

 So, are you running conventional or command? 2 rail or 3 rail?

Thanks everyone.  I'm compiling this information for an operator in Germany, who bought one of my GP60 unpowered units on eBay.  I've been out of the hobby for several years, so I wasn't quite sure how this unit could be done.  From the answers posted here and elsewhere, I've gleaned the following:
1. Atlas dummy units have roller pickups, but they're not connected to anything. (This a 3-rail unit.)
2. Atlas has wiring diagrams for these trucks on their Web site.
3. Atlas used to have lighting kits, but as of today (3/6/19) they don't.
4. Kits and/or parts are available from third party vendors.
5. If you just want to have the lights go on when power is applied, it's just a matter of installing and connecting LEDs for everything you want to illuminate. 
6. If you want fancier lighting effects, you'll need a TMCC board.

Please feel free to make corrections or add information.

And thanks again to everyone!
