Re: HO Power pickup question

Went to the Kaydee site and looked at the metal trucks.  Can't tell if
the axels are metal with an insulating bu****ng on one wheel as
mentioned in a previous post or are they plastic axels.  Anyone know
the Kaydee 550 thru 554 series.  I like the idea of soldering a wire
to each truck to get power from the oposing rails. If the trucks are
cast, how do you solder to them? Anyone used the Kadee metal trucks in
the link below?  I can handle the electric/electronic parts, I just
need to get some elctricity inside the car.  I like the marker lite
suggestion.  I have seen someone do that on a web page somewhere with
a bulb inside the caboose and LEDs inside the marker lights.
