Can ordinary coach lights be used on live steam layouts?

Someone on the Big H was asking if they could use their pullman lighted coaches with a live steamer.

That could be one of your famous 'no' answers Pol!

They could , but not for very long , and they would be very bright

Thanks guys. I've passed on the bad news.

You think CTP means the 12v loco and not the live steamer. I reackon he does.

But brads reckons his works fine.  I can't see it unless they draw a very small current.  My controller packs up at the mere SNIFF of an over current!

I wouldn't risk it with such an expensive model, but it looks like TKD is going to take the advice that suits what he wants to do.

Probably.  But I don't think he'll actually damage anything.  I do think he'll end up being a bit disappointed, though.  Then again, what do I know?

Are they fitted with LEDs or bulbs ?
