Great work Ucwepn,
I'm glad that your still doing the videos, and personally I like the mod videos better than the reviews! What modifications are next? I've always got lots of ideas but never seem to have the time to do them & it doesn't help that we don't seem to play with the trains as much as we used to,
Yeah great work on the windows, you should light up the carriages, they always look good when your running in the dark, personally I'm not a fan of running cables between the carriages, Sam would just pull and twist them until they came apart regardless of any inbetween carriage cables! On the carriages I've illuminated, I used a 3v button cell battery, a switch and then two white leds in parrallel, on my early carriages I tried 4leds which were ok but the battery didn't last overly long, on my modified james, the final carriage I illuminated with white ceiling lights and a red light on the back, the button cell struggles to power both, so I'm thinking about fitting a single AAA and a voltage booster (but just in the last car the button cells are fine for just x2 leds)

Since you ask for ideas for future mods...wouldn't those new windows on Annie and Clarabelle look great if the coaches had lights in them? You already have the 3 volt power generator in Thomas.
