Berwyns Trains did a special run of CB&Q heavyweight coaches made by Atlas from MTH tooling. These served as the beginning of FW&D/C&S coach project. The photo of a photo shows C & S coach 549 carrying the markers for mail trains #7 and 8.
I replaced the factory lighting with flicker-free GGD light strips. The markers are Tomar powered by flicker-free modules from Hennings Trains. There isn’t enough space on the vestibule to drill a hole for mounting Tomar markers, so I just glued them to the end of the car and ran the power cabling the same way as the prototype. It is my usual crude work, but I like the way the car turned out.
