Re: HO Power pickup question

Wow, you guys were a big help.  The wheels are some ****ny metal and
the axels are plastic..  it looks like the contact wipers are what I
really need and I can configure them to rub on the inside of the
smooth metal wheel like is done on our GP40 diesel locomotives.

I couldn't find any photos of what the wipers look like or how big
they are.   I will also look into Kadee for axels for other cars that
I want to light up.  Trains look so dull until you see a layout that
has done a lot of lighting for buildings and cars.

Thanks to all very much and for your timely responses.  I have a nine
year old son that I am getting into the hobby.
