Done! Sort of...
I think I am happy with the paint job, I just finished assembling the cars this evening ( I need to go back and fold over a few more tabs, oops). I was waiting on some decals I ordered for the cars. When I took the cars apart, I removed what was left of the interior lighting and I haven't reinstalled it yet. Once again, I'm going to solicit your opinions. I'm thinking of lighting the cars with LED strip lights inside the car roofs. What do you guys/gals think? I'm sure that I could make the old bulbs work again, but I like the idea of building some bridge rectifiers with added capacitance to get nice, smooth lighting from the one pick up roller that each passenger car has.
