Hey John!
Do you by chance have updated links, or part numbers to the stuff you used to make the lighting kits? the links earlier in the thread are dead. I'm looking at adding lighting to the P70's I bought from you.

@delamaize Keep an eye on this thread at the end- https://www.therailwire.net/forum/index.php?topic=59881.msg827020#msg827020

I have reconfigured the design to be magnetically switched with a battery outside the shell for easier replacement.  The original design is a PITA to replace batteries and switch the lights.  I may update this thread when I get them to work.

PM me if you don't want to wait for that design.  I could send you enough of the original parts to do the two models I sent to you since I won't be using them any longer.

The flexible PCB strip cannot be purchased from Germany (does not ship to USA: https://www.shop-014.de/michawi-p2912h320s325-flexible-Streifen-Pl.html]https://www.shop-014.de/michawi-p2912h320s325-flexible-Streifen-Pl.html

These LED's might work well. I like the done on them. https://theelectronicgoldmine.com/collections/yellow-orange-leds/products/g28799

These could work for the switch https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/nidec-components-corporation/CUS-12TB/1124222
