MOD: Maersk train with PF leds

Recommended Posts

Here is my Maersk train with PF leds. I really wanted to keep the original look with the two lights above each other, and it worked out pretty well (no brick modification necessary):

How do you build it? Attached is the LDD file.

The wiring is pretty straight-forward if you are running on PF. If you are using 9V, you'll need to get this cable (the cable with 2/3 high connector bricks prevents the motor bogie from turning in corners).

Please comment!

All I can see is a black square, not sure if ths is because I am viewing on an iPad or whether there is an issue?

Ok, I have viewed the image by quoting your post and gabbing the link to your Flickr stream from there, this should work:

Looks very nice, could you provide details of basically what you changed as I can't access an lxf file?

Cheers, Dave

Sorry about that. iPads don't do Flash...

Here's the part that holds the PF leds, the cheese slopes and the transparent round plates:

... when you add all these parts, you get this:

I've uploaded the instructions to my photostream (why doesn't LDD draw a thin line between the bricks?).

This is exactly what I was looking for. I did not have any of those multi hole pieces in my collection so it's no wonder that I couldn't figure out a way to do this before. Thank you for posting details!!!
