The Watercress Line plans a locomotive light show, looks a bit like the Blackpool Illuminations

Could this be a gamechanger, like the Thomas replica was in 1994?

The Dartmouth Steam Railway got there first. They ran one last year and are doing the same in 2020:

'13174 lights! Your experience shall be enhanced by popular and traditional music!'

Is that more or different to events at other lines?

We’ll have to go on YouTube and count the lights on the other trains... :)

This year will be Dartmouth's third year running. The Coca-Cola illuminated trains in the USA have run for some while.
