This was the last entry on that post-  

Shell is on backwards. Was told this by Lionel. Needs to be reversed to hide the electronics. 

I guess I missed this, as I still don't see that note in this thread.... unless you're referring to the Pennsy thread. 

In any case, I took a look at my AFT StationSounds car.  And upon a quick inspection, it does NOT appear that rotating the shell will help our cause here.  There are windows on both sides of the car that run the entire length of the car.  So rotating the shell 180-degrees will still place windows in front of the electronics.

As delivered the electronics are "hidden" from view on ONE side of the car only with what appears to be a solid piece of light-color plastic.  The other side of the car has no such plastic to obscure the view.  Not sure why that's the case.  I haven't opened the car to really see what's inside -- due to hearing it's a bit of a project to pop the shell off these cars now.  Will take a more detailed look when I have the time.
