Hello,
I was interested in detailing a cab for a engine, particularly a Lionel 4-4-2 Atlantic. I wanted to paint the backhead gauges, throttle handle, ect.
Also paint the cab roof green.
Possible to add a 'flickering' firebox as this engine only had a red glow, from a bulb and a red cover
Anyone have any insight on colors to use or engines they have done, that would be great!
This is a Lionel Big Boy of recent vintage;

For really nice gauges, I would use one of these sets:

For details, goto PSC and pic out the hoses, reverse handles, and throttles.Use thread for the Whistle chord and SMD led's to light it all up!
What would you hang from the thread as the handle for the whistle? How would you attach the throttle and whatnot to the backhead?
Thanks for the link to PSC!
Also; what is a good source for cab curtains?
I looked on lionels website, they are not sold separate from the cab itself (see above)
