Hey folks, welcome to this information video about the High-Speed Passenger Train. I've
now got lights going all the way through the train and this is a video just on how I've
done it.
I did get a question asked whether it was light bricks in each carriage but I'll show
you how I've done it. It's all power functions, so here we go!
This is the main motorised unit, this has the battery in it. So one thing you'll notice
if you look at this High Speed Passenger Train is things are different to the normal, standard
one. The IR receiver is now at the back instead of the front. The power switch is the opposite
way around, the pantograph is now further at the back than it is at the front on the
normal one. So things have been moved around a bit. It's got lights at the front and lots
of cables which you'll see as we take this apart.
So, we've got the battery unit, this is the rechargeable battery, this goes to the IR
receiver, this cable is going to the IR receiver. This cable which is plugged in gives the power
when the signal is turned on. We trace this all the way back, it goes to this extension
cable here. Basically the extension cable is used and all the main cables are at the
front now just due to the height of this. I wouldn't be able to fit three of these connectors
on without, well I wouldn't be able to fit the roof on afterwards so I've done that!
So that goes, the connector goes to the front, this black block is just the middle block
in the lights. Once we do this we've got the motor, we've got the lights at the front and
we've also got an extension cable which when we follow it through, I think it's the middle
one. So this middle connector continues through all the way and eventually it goes through
the back here. If I uncouple it you'll see the cable going through here. So this then
continues on, and I'll show you one of these. I'll show you this carriage here. As you can
see we've got lights, a power functions light in there. I'll turn it on, you can see you've
got the light shining there. Now there's one of these at each side of a carriage, like
so. So that's what lights up the actual carriage itself but in here we've got the light brick
has to be connected or the power functions lights needs to be connected and then also
another extension cable. So these extension cables continue on all the way through the
train. So it goes all the way along, you can see another cable there. another cable there,
another cable there until we get to the other end. In here originally there was another
battery that was driving the motor. So now in the second motorised carriage there's just
these, the end of the extension. If you look, and some more light connectors, wires, the
actual lights that you'll see in the front, or the back of the train and it goes through
to another motor at the bottom.
And the motor at the bottom has been modified in such that it's been reversed the way it's
going to travel so the soldering has been switched on the actual motor inside the casing.
If you want to find out how that's done then there is a, I'll put a link in the cards now
as to how to modify a motor.
So that means we only need one battery in the entire train and it's all cabled through
from one end of the train to the other. So one battery gives all the power to all the
lights in the train.
So there you go, I hope you've enjoyed this video. Give it the thumbs up if you have.
I'll add some footage of the train running in the dark at the end of this video and also
a link just to the full video of all the trains running in the dark. Subscribe if you haven't
already and I'll see you in the next video. Bye!
