Williams "E7's"

Well the light part is easy. Go to forum sponsor model train software and get those smd lighted LEDs. You wand two per board. A simple 2 wire hook up to the power pick ups and you are done. Number boards are always lit when the unit is running anywhere in the consist.

Ok, this will probably be the 2nd dumbest question of the day, but where do you find a list of the forum sponsor's on this forum home page.

I put in what you said in the search box, and gives a whole bunch, of a whole bunch, but nothing where to find the sponsor that u eluded to. .........Brandy!

You have to Dremel out the old number boards as they're just part of the body shell.  I made lenses out of clear plexiglass for mine and used LEDs powered off the ERR Cruise Commander module:

 

 

 

My Williams E7 was an unpowered unit so I had to first get the powered trucks, then I got the ERR Cruise Commander, then the sound module.  I also repainted mine into a Seaboard E7, 3039.

 

Soon after I got a 3rd Rail E7, already painted in SAL colors:

 

 

 

Had to pull the huge couplers off and install Kadees, but now all is well.

 

I have since pulled the ERR unit out and popped it into my Railking RS3, the Williamsn E7 is sitting, waiting for another ERR unit.

 

Hey guys thanks a bunch for your help, especially how to look up the dealers that's on the forum. Looks like they could have made it more user friendly, but what ever.... Thanks again for your all help!...............................Brandy!
