LGB rear observation carNoticed about 2 years ago I posted about making a observation car out of a coach and damaged combine, product was finished but I never posted any pictures. Car is lite with LED's and powered by 2 AAA batteries tucked in the end of the clearestory roof I have added a small slide switch in the clearestory to turn them on with. Batteries are still the orginal ones and still light.LGB rear observation carnot sure if the picture loaded or not but if not I will try again, Bill

Tom thanks for the kind words, now that I have found a way to post pictures I will continue to do so. Was unable to do so using insert image rich text editor. after seeing your pinterest web sit I decided to try using it as a storage area. Didn't work but found that posting URL in text did. See you soon in the funny papers, Bill Barnwell
