After seeing my friends USA Trains j1e Hudson NYC, I was inspired to upgrade my aristocraft pacific's lighting and cab detail. The engine is a 2011 new version, so it did have an led front light but the side markers (clear) and cab light were incandescent bulbs. I decided to go with green led front markers and led cab light in warm white. The firebox did not light up so I added 2 red flickering leds. I wanted to add firebox lighting so I used 2 red flickering leds for that as well. I made a circuit board for the new lights and just changed the resistance for each led. Engine before modifying, I had a little cat help. Testing the lights. Installing lights and cicuit board Here is the painted cab interior. I do not have a before picture, but was very poor on detail. I painted the valves red and dials white. Had to paint in a lot of the detail. Finished product. Camera does not do it justice but you can get the idea. Was a fun project, glad I upgraded it.
