I think it would be fine to give Jarell the honorary title by naming the Show Me Something thread in his recognition. Yes Thumbs Up Two thumbs up from me. FWIW.

Two On3 cabeese made from San Juan Car Co. kits:

The lights don't really blink - they run off batteries controlled by magnetic switches.

Show me something you've installed lights in.

I drilled out the marker light's , and put in the smallest Grain-o-Rice type bulb's I could get.

I ran the wires to a switch on the bottom of the car. I have not installed the battery box yet.... ( still trying to figure out where in the heck to "hide" it, since the car will have a full interior.)

How about some more "Installed the Light's myself"  project's .

Rust...... It's a good thing !

Odd? Well maybe — but pretty common on the New York Central. F7, C Liner, RS-2 and an FA-2.

Well, the STRATTON AND GILLETTE never runs strange lashups! Geeps to Geeps, F units with F units. Steam locomotives all alone. I could not contribute.

Fresh from the paint shops is this STRATTON AND GILLETTE railway post office car.

It is time to start thinking about next month's Show Me Something. I think we agreed to begin naming it after Jarrell. I will not be able to start the thread in November, I will be traveling. Hopefully the starter will remember the name change.
