Kitbash a 45n?

If the metal tabs break off, you can put a couple of screws into the side edge to hold the pieces together. When I did this, I used #2 self tapping screws.

Bill,  Great idea, also put an LED in the gateman's lantern and post a picture.  I can already imagine it.

Did you kit bash the 45N, or are you saying you broke some tabs and used screws for some other reason?

Marty, you asked for it, so here it is.  I've enclosed both a lighted pic as well as unlighted.  The lighted pic did not take a good image of the lights.  They are washed out.  The lights are leds, but clear.  I painted them red, but the color was rather mottled.  I also put an led (painted) that is located underneath the flagman's lantern.  My picture does not show that at all, perhaps because I took the picture in bright light.  I will eventually get some red leds for the lights.  Notice I did not use the Lionel #154 signal.  Not only did it look way too over sized, the base hung over the platform.  I just happened to have an American Flyer # 760 highway signal which fit perfectly on the platform.  At the moment, the operation only lights the bulbs continuously since I don't know what's involved to make the bulbs flash alternating.  I'm using Gargraves track and the accessory is wired to an insulated track section.  I will look into some of the modern accessory controllers to see if that can work.  This is on my Christmas layout where real estate is at a premium.
