Did the King Ludwig sets come with Lighted coaches. I have seen some video clips showing them with lighted coaches. Confused

I beleive they are lit, as they have different catalog numbers for the digital and non-digital versions, because they use different voltage bulbs.

Hi Peter,

Yes the coaches have controlled lighting with two decoders that control each coach.

For those that are interested see my article below.

But he is asking about the King Ludwig sets, not the King Wilhelm which you are referencing.

The King Ludwig lighting is not controllable in the coaches for the digital set AFAIK, that wasn't done until the King Wilhelm.
