Here on RW, click the "YouTube" button, insert the "

Took me, like, forever, man, to figure that out.
And I'm sure there are instructions somewhere

The boxcab's basic components are an old Bachmann caboose and a Kato 11-106 power chassis.

I started mine from an extended cupola caboose that came with a locomotive I bought on E-Bay...

It's also using a Kato chassis. Yours gives me idea of what to do with the opening where the cupola use to be.

Frank, looks to be the same caboose shell I used.   I filled in the "holes" where the cupola was with some "vents" from a parts sprue from a AMB Core car kit.

I believe we have instructions in the admin forum but... yes that's pretty much how ya do it.

If you want to use the "regular" URL instead of the .be ones you need to remove anything from the "&" and after if there is anything.

Thanks for the guidance, I could not find the step by step instruction within R/W.

I spent way too much time on this thing today...

Lee,

I really like the interior details you've added--it makes this look like an actual building, not just a shell. I'm looking forward to see where you go from here. I hope to pick up a few tips on how to do lighting.

I started in on the lighting tonight.  Basically, I'm poking holes in the second floor, and pushing LED's through to light the first floor.  Using a couple different colors.  Bright white in the mens' room, a dull yellow one in an office, and warm white washes the stairwell and waiting room area.  As noted elsewhere, most of the offices will be dark, but you'll be able to see light from the hallway coming in through the doors...

All of the wiring will be hidden in the hallway upstairs.  Second floor lighting will likewise be poked through the ceiling above, with the wiring in the attic.  Two wires feed power to the whole shebang down the back wall, through the basement, and down below decks to the netherworld of Allegany Power...  The platform lights will end up on a separate circuit, mostly due to bad planning.  I'll also be adding a couple of exterior lights, but I need to get some tiny clear beads from the craft store to make them.
