Jon- All of mine sport Jay-Bee coupler pads and #5 or #8 couplers (depending on what was handy, they both work down to ~24"r). The wheelsets are all Proto 36" Rp25 flatbacks, and are rolling in the stock truck frames with the brakes either heated and bent, or just clipped, since they severely interfere with the larger wheels. None as yet have received lighting, and the only ones with interiors are from a B set (mid 90s vintage) I picked up on closeout last year. Those want the passengers and paint first. The lighting kits I've seen around are all for the newer Walthers kits, and I'm skeptical about their ability to fit my 30+ year old cars. Most are still in the original AHM boxes, if that says anything. Have you fit any of the lighting boards yet? Do you know which ones fit? Painted figures command a steep price at my LHS, so I may spend a saturday enlisting my mother and sister and father to help me paint some of the seated 100 packs, as I figure I'll need about 300 to fill the cars. A small dot of rubber cement on the end of a clipped toothpick aparently makes a wonderful armature for them. If I buy the pizza and find some comfortable chairs, I might just be able to sucker them into it [:D] Now I need to figure out how to mask the windows off so when I paint the interiors I don't overspray the clear styrene. Hmm.... -dave
