You could enlarge the hole and possibly cut a channel from there to the end for you wire to lay in. Another option would be to screw a light gauge phosphor bronze flat bar or wire to the bottom of the truck with the loose ends riding on the axles, Then have your wires soldered to it with a small hole drilled in the floor to pass up to the PC board. I will be ordering some of your boards later. Great ideas. Thanks.

I just found this today 10/17/2024. I will plan on buying some of this from you Sir!

I am even doing the same thing with lights. Love your interiors!

Make the hole in the weight bigger. Or cut the weight, so it swings clear

Have you investigated using LED's in series to reduce current draw with a whole string of illuminated passenger cars? I've tinkered with a circuit that lights 3 LED's and uses between 1 and 2 mA of current. Less drain on the DCC supply.

Very smart idea. Thanks for sharing.

Looks like a fun project. Are you replacing the original wheels? If so, what brand and size of wheels are you using? Thanks for the great video.

I replaced the factory axles with Intermountain 36" sets. The factory will work, but they have one plastic wheel which causes crud build up on your track.
