Nice set and beautiful presentation in the elegant Kato bookcase. Actually the frosted windows hide the fact that there is no interior. Perfect!

Prototypical PRR commuter set... no on riding in them! :trollface:

I have the set that DKS did for the Newport and Rock Falls.  He modified the interior lighting with LEDs and a capacitor that provides a slow fade a few seconds after the power drops.  Passengers appear to like that feature, because look how they're packed in!

John, I would have suggested the Tamiya Compound polish as well. It would freshen up the polystyrene and return the shine.
