Mounting Instructions:

LGB short length cars: Use the two supplied mounting screws to attach to the roof mounting studs located on the inside of the car roof. Optionally use the high temperature self adhesive strips to attach the lighting fixture to the roof of the car.

Non-LGB cars: For cars without LGB style mounting studs use the high temperature self adhesive strips to attach the lighting fixture to the roof of the car.

Hook-up Instructions:

For powering from car wheels : Route one or both power leads from the light fixture to car wheels. The supplied black cable provides a prototypical appearance.

For powering from a loco or another car: Route one of the power cables to the front of the car using a Shourt Line 4128210 LGB round mini-banana power connector kit. For LGB square style power connectors use a Shourt Line 4128310 LGB square 2 pin power connector kit.

Two extra long cables provided for any type of wire routing. Please contact the Shourt Line for help in selecting best lighting solution for your cars and type of train control and track voltage.

Optional upgrades: (see our store for details)

  • Dimmer for DC analog or DCC version dims 0 to 100% and can be installed to allow dimming by rotating any roof vent.
  • Massoth 8FL Decoder for MTS/DCC remote on/off and digital dimming + 7 extra functions
  • Lighting Power buffer for flicker free operation on DC or DCC
  • Lighting Gold Cap buffer with up to 5 minutes of lighting without track power

Photos:


The large reflector provides even illumination, hides the circuit components, electrical parts, wires and keeps wires in the wire channel of the roof for easy roof removal and replacement. The reflector provides room to route wires down the inside walls of your car for wheel power pickup. (Ball bearing wheels sets and carbon bush power pickup kits available at our store)


Typical installation using loco power and a Shourt Line LGB round connector kit


Note that the second power cable can be used to power following cars, shown above behind the conductor at the rear of the car.


The supplied black sheath protects the wires and makes a super clean and prototypical appearance as shown above.


Don't leave your passengers in the dark!
