I am considering an attempt to upgrade my NYC GP-7 dummy so it would have electro-couplers and lights. How big a job would this be? I know I would need new trucks with electro couplers and pick up rollers and an electronic board. I tried to call Lionel today but their power is still out so thought I would try to get a response from the REAL experts on the forum.
In my opion you should buy a non powered unit already equipped with electro-couplers and lights as you will save a few dollars.

There were/are kits available from Lionel with the couplers and board. I believe you’d have to find the pick-up’s separatly.
