I'm not using one because I don't have one. ;)
If I ever see a train with enough castle-applicable parts to interest me, at a
good discount, I may get one. Until then, I shall rely on the battery box.
Unless there's some altruistic train-head out there with too many of these?
BTW, I still haven't had an opportunity to try two of the large battery boxes,
but I have substituted the smaller for the larger, and it made a huge
difference in how dim it was. So I'm thinking that two boxes might make the
whole thing brighter.
