cteno4 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 So the bandai btrain trucks have power pickups in them and there are the arced slots in the floor allows them up into the car. Funny thing I have never seen a floor pickup set or lighting kits for the cars. Anyone ever seen an aftermarket kit? I'm thinking that it might work fine to just wire to the truck tabs directly. Was thinking a couple of smd LEDs per car attached to a chunk of translucent plex to diffuse the light. Ideas? Jeff Link to comment
nartak Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 There seems no complete kit for illuminating B-train.. I see people doing mainly by DIY. Found 1 company selling a set of wire and LED so that people doesn't have to solder SMD at least.. http://kirameki-koubou.com/kirameki-light-btrain-roomlight.html Link to comment
cteno4 Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 Thanks Nariichi! you're great at finding details like this! thanks again for finding the imperial seal sets for the ships! interesting how they did the strip of copper under the car then bent it up to wipe on the outside of the truck power pins. usually the pickups are pressing down on top of the curved top of the power pins. but with the light little cars this may work better and be easier to install. i find soldering the smds fun actually! going to have to play with this some. cheers, jeff Link to comment
