HOW DID YOU MODIFY THE R142 TO 2RAIL,,AND LOWERED THE TRUCKS
Masta244 I just replaces the original with 3mm red LEDs. I also replaced the original lenses with 3mm red LEDs cut to half To give a more correct appearance.
mwb, good point. Kadees wouldn't be prototypical, I believe the correct ones would be Tomlinsons. Here are a few pics of the progress, most of it is detailing. Notice that I modified the trucks so they would be closer to the chassis, which actually makes the cars longer. I plan to put together a video of the conversion once I'm done, but it's been a ton of work and (I'm very lazy) there are 5 cars to go.
