Reply to "CB&Q and Fort Worth & Denver passenger cars"

Silver Streak's conversion (a K-Line ESE car) was considered complete until I realized I could add road-specific detail to make it even more accurate.  The search for a signature CB&Q tail marker ended when I realized these parts could be ordered from MTH Parts as part of their Premier Pioneer Zephyr models.  A little Dremel work, white putty, and LED's from Evans Designs resulted in this:

Photos made in the dark reveal how it leaks a bit of light from the places where parts meet.  Stand way back in a well-lit room and it will look impressive. Hehe!

On the workbench I still have another Lionel obs to redo as Silver Hours which brought up the markers for the Sam Houston Zephyr.
