This is a MTH Rail King Limited Edition Bay Window Caboose...I really like the paint scheme and want to use it from time to time...however, as you can see in the video, the sparks coming from both the front and rear trucks make it look more like a sparkler on the "4th of July" than a model train caboose!!! Any thoughts on what I might try first as a remedy would be appreciated...

      Looks like one of the light's power wire has a short where the wire passes through the floor of the caboose. Probably the insulation has woren out by the metal edges of the hole. You can take some black tape, put it around the wire where it goes through the floor or replace the wire from the power trucks to the lights. I would try the tape first. Good luck
