How to Light Passenger Cabins with Interior Fixtures

Installing Cabin Lamps

Interior fixtures allow you to illuminate passenger cars and locomotive cabins without relying on exterior headlights:

1. Enter the cabin of your train while it is in its unassembled block state.

2. Place interior lamps directly onto the walls or ceiling of the cabin.

3. Arrange fixtures according to your layout preference, such as mounting two parallel rows of rectangular ceiling lamps or placing them end-to-end to form a single continuous strip of light along the ceiling.

Running Lights on a Moving Train

After placing your cabin lighting, you must assemble the train to use them on the move:

1. Walk to a train station block and assemble your train structure into an active contraption.

2. Drive the train down the railway tracks.

3. Check the cabin interiors while the train is moving. The interior lamps remain firmly attached to the moving contraption and stay fully illuminated during your trip, lighting up dark passenger cars without breaking the aesthetic of the build.
