I'm also missing the possibility to tap-off current from the train wheels.
When this is possible, then we can add lights (LED's)in our passenger /
freight cars. Just thinking on the red light that you find back on the last
freight car to note the end of the train. You find this also back on
passenger cars.

Make the needed parts available through bulk parts (yellow train windows in
1*2*3 [http://guide.lugnet.com/partsref/search.cgi?q=4035] with apropriate
glass [http://guide.lugnet.com/partsref/search.cgi?q=4036] and
1*4*3 [http://guide.lugnet.com/partsref/search.cgi?q=4033]with apropriate
glass [http://guide.lugnet.com/partsref/search.cgi?q=4034] and yellow train
doors) and we'll get a lot closer to our goal. The train base plates are
alreddy available as bulk part (3737).
