I just received my previously ordered Lionel #29329 Peanuts Halloween aquarium car.  I loved the design in the catalog & the graphics on the car as it arrived, but two things strike me about it's "real life" appearance.  1) the internal graphics on both the scenic background & the moving band are faint & less bold than they appear in the catalog; &, more importantly, on a product that lists @ $85 & for which I paid $62 retail, couldn't Lionel shell out a few cents and equip it with TWO light bulbs... one for each aquarium "window"?  As is, the bulb is dead center, behind the Lionel "L," and offers very poorly distributed illumination.  Kind of a bummer.

I have many Lionel aquarium cars from a decade or so when they did not have the motor-drive, but this one was so cute, I went for it.  I assume all Lionel aquarium cars built in the last 15 years have just one bulb too.  Can anyone tell us if MTH's aquarium cars have one or two bulbs?  I avoided them after hearing they were plagued with belt-breakage woes... which have supposedly been remedied.

I have the MTH railking blue marlin aquarium car and they have 2 LED bulbs and a can motor drive.  I ran the thing total about (5 to 10 mins each time)15 hours and no trouble at all so far so good.

No problems with the moving belt.  Its been a pretty good car and i LIKE it a lot. I have to say that it pretty well made car.
