I decided to add a coach light to my MTH switch tower in a corner of my layout.
I first installed it about an inch too low IMO and changed my mind and removed it and re-installed where it is now.
When removing the light, I marred the surface of the building and found this nice little part to cover my sloppy mistake and use as an address or door sign.
Can you guess where it came from?

Stangtrain, your coach light looks great. I thought I'd share a kitbashed light that I added to one of my switch towers. I used a discarded part from a laser printer overhaul for the lamp shade, and a grain of wheat bulb for the light.

As a side note when taking the train to DC I noticed men's names on switch towers. I commented about it to my son who is an engineer. He told me that some RRS would name the tower after the man that designed the interlocking. So I named this one after him.
