This sounds a lot more workable, and would look good. You have two trains of cars, so when the batteries on one start to go, you pull the whole train and put the other one on. Then while the second one is running, you can pull the light bricks on the first one (and put them in the ‘replace batteries later’ bag) and replace them with fresh bricks.
For these hundreds we have, how many have had the tab pulled that keeps them from lighting up prematurely?
Also, I’m pretty sure you’re gonna want a transparent 1×2 brick in front of each light to help spread out the light. I put both red and yellow ‘naked’ light bricks on my GBC in 2014, and the ones aiming towards the audience didn’t look like much.
