    With the talk of electrical connections and the USA GP30's, it has me wondering if I could use a small plug of sorts, to wire several Bachmann/Delton narrow gauge passenger cars together. Using one car, maybe two, for electrical pick up for lighting.
    Several of the cars I have roll about as well as a brick, because of electrical pick up.
    Would like to wire cars together for better power continuity between cars.

    Ideas and/or information appreciated.
    Thanks.

    If you are looking to dump the pick ups which make the cars roll like a like as they very well do and you want a better continuity so lights don't flicker, then I suggest you switch over to white LED lights and battery power for the lights only. LED interior lighting is also sold in white LED strips and will run on a long time on very little battery power such as 9 volts.
