Very nice work Jeff.  What brand passenger cars are in your video?  They have a nice color and finish?  I run 18 inch K-Line versions that are OK but not as nicely finished.  

Thank you!

The cars are the old MTH Premier 18 inch heavy weights, which don't have passengers.  You used to be to get them pretty cheap at York.  I am in the process of replacing the lights with LED tape strip lights since some of the bulbs are out and/or light fixtures are broken.  It's very easy to do on these cars.  Also doing a little painting in the interiors and adding people.

I got the warm white leds but still a bit too white but I think I will leave them as is without using any yellow nail polish or whatever.  Or they might just look too white in comparison with the dimmer old half lit car. 

Gee, I think the one on the right looks better...sorry! 

Let us (me) know what you think of the "Apex" book, please...
