Modified 60051 train with white/red driving lights

[FiliusRucilo]

I've modded two 60051 trains to one train with longer cars (chassis 92339), driving engines on both heads and forward/backward driving lights.

The lights are made by dividing a cable type 8886 in two pieces and soldering duo-leds on the cabels:

for plug in the second engine i've made a cable which doing two things. First providing power thru the train (about 1.5 meters...), second swapping signaling lines C1/C2. So the switch type 8869 is obsolete and i have a very slim cable solution in place compared to original PF connectors.

Simply extending the train is a huge improvement, but your addition of the power cord through the train and the bicolored lights is a well executed MOD. One small suggestion, have you considered wrapping the rainbow colored connector wires between cars with black electrical tape? (or using a black marker)

I considered to take a grey cable. Thats available also. But then i decided to take the colored cables. That helps avoiding wrong connections.
