Wondering if anyone has a good link which will walk someone through what needs to be done to modify an unelectrified passenger car so that it can have internal lighting and/or sound installed.
Thanks!

Frank,
Can you post some more details on this Bowser product? I can't find it on their website. How much does it cost?
I'm looking to light a few cabooses and am looking at putting in a function-only DCC decoder.
Cheers,

Of course, I am also looking for N Scale stuff as well......which may or may not be more difficult to find. :\
