Very nice street lights.  Judging by the size, I wonder if these LED's might work for N scale too - at least for the newish lights one sees on four lane highways,etc.

Phil,

Take a look @ Ngineering's web site. Like this page - http://www.ngineering.com/micro_white_photos.htm - which is all photos of N scale applications of the company's micro LEDs,

FWIW, BC Rail did not exist until 1984. :) (Pacific Great Eastern changed to British Columbia Railway in 1972, the name was changed to BC Rail in 1984.

Well I guess that BC Rail needs a changin' ,  thanks .

Flat now has been painted the same color as the rub rails . Trailer has been de-logoed , and will get the same Army green Saturday . USAX fleet will get a Army trailer on a Army flat . Never did like the mismatch green anyhow .

There are many errors in the TOFC's I have , car colors , car numbers, car size , TOFC setups , trailer lettering designs for 1959 era , etc . Uninvented road names is a bit too much of an error I guess .

Look at the left trailer. See the light, the reflection below the letters "ALL" in valley. See how it cuts off abruptly. That's one clue. There are others.

How do you explain the breaks in the decals?  The reflection looks kosher.

Sorry to disappoint, boys, but that's the real McCoy...  I used black under white dry transfers I had made about 20 years ago.  (I did the trailers about 20 years ago, too!)

I'm sure if I dig deep enough I can find an older shot of them.
