You always seem to have/find an interesting project….. I found pair Globe F7A-B dummies. Decided to assemble and leave as-is and place in display in my office as a nod to roots of the hobby. No livery. Just the silverish base coat. Looks really cool, actually. Think they date to 1954-56 before Athearn bought them up.

I may have that same set!

Athearn Blue box underframes should fit with minor modifications.

[@elite194]

We should be able to keep the under frame, but for this set I think we'll scratch build the trucks...

Got some 280 motors, what is the tubing you use for drive shafts, and where can I find it?

ebay - 1x4mm food grade silicone hose

This look's like it's going to be a cool project but the real question is how many under light's ?

[@elite194]

so far 2 reds and 7 yellows!
