I always liked the idea of running some GP7's in a double header configuration. The powered unit coupled with a non -powered unit config appeals to me, so I am thinking about running my LC+ GP7 coupled with a MPC era dummy unit. Road name is Santa Fe. My question: do the MPC era GP7 (or GP9) dummy units have lighting at all? 

Thanks.

The MPC era GP7/9's are EZ to add the 3rd rail pickups.   You would need a 2328-200 collector assembly kit  or a 2328-170, 2328-173 and a screw and plastic washer to add the needed collector to the bottom of the truck for lights.

Here's bad picture of pickups added to one of my many dummy units,

Also you can add LED lights, LED lights use DC power not AC.  I use use LED Christmas lights.
