I'm new to the Train world and didnt realize to power the sound on my 4-6-0 Steam Locomotive (South Pacific Coast #22) tender as well as the lighting on any subsequent passenger cards, that I'd have to use a 9V battery... well - the train is installed up near the ceiling and for me to have to switch on/off each individual car every time would be a tremendous hassle... So I've been prowling the internet - trying to find any kind of conversion kit that will allow the cars to pull power directly from the track instead of from the 9V battery but I'm failing to find anything.

I can't be the only person who's wanted to find a way around this issue... Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas? I'll go broke paying for 9V's!
