Tomix interior lights in Tomytec trains

[eggis]

Hi all, I’m new to this forum and joined for the purpose of seeking help with this. I’d like to buy the tomytec railway collection 7 car Keihan 13000 series set (image attached) and motorise it. My question is this; are tomytec trains compatible with tomix interior lighting sets? Or do Tomytec railway collection models require a custom homemade solution? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

They aren't. ism-works sell kits to add directional lights and interior lights to the models. The process should be the same for all trains for interior lights and is I think relatively straight forward. You mostly need to install metal tape. Directional lights is by model, they don't have kits for all of them.
