It's surprising considering the popularity of Lionel's Polar Express for both forum and nonforum members that no one has yet taken up this challenge. Seeing the various mods folks here have done to their trains, it seems making the hobo piece flip over remotely would have been successfully tackled. Is it that challenging and difficult for somebody with mechanical and electronic expertise to accomplish this mod? Lacking such ability, I haven't attempted it but was hoping someone more capable would have already figured it out. I wonder why hasn't Lionel done this? Perhaps the P.E. disappearing hobo car isn't that big a seller in Lionel's lineup of Polar Express addon accessories?
