Bandai B train truck power pickups

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?

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,
