I have not made any additions to my Steeler train for about 2 years. This is the newest addition to the train. I think it just might be the best one I have done.

I am not a steeler fan but this is something would love to have for a florida state car but they only have 3 rings.
Patriots fan but still appreciate a neat looking car.
nice job, Thom
Nice! Looks great & nice lighting, too! (You can buy reproduction rings? I didn't know.)
Thom, any football fan will appreciate this car design. It indeed makes a beautiful addition to your Steeler's train. 
Been waiting for the online reveal. Thom really outdid himself on this one! You guys s hould see it in person. The LED lighting overhead really makes the rings sparkle.
It should be a real show-stopper at the July Greenberg show in Monroeville.

Great job! Big fan of LED's and those make the rings really stand out.
What an awesome idea. Great job on the build.
WOW!!!!! That is GREAT!! Wait, there's something in my eyes.........
That's awesome!!
How many would you like to make? - I'll take one for sure!! ( assuming those are repro-rings that is- I do have mortgage payments to make!
That is awesome...love the lighting. How about one for the Eagles? Oh wait....no rings.....never mind.

Wow! Thom. Nice job.

The rings are repros, but I have a feeling this will be a one-of-a-kind, at least as far as Thom is concerned. He could probably sell a lot of them, but then he would get into lots of trouble from the NFL and the Steelers, and no one wants that.
Making one isn't hard. Getting the repro rings is probably the hardest part - you have to get them from eBay from sellers in China. And the battery case can be hard to find (though not expensive). Then you have to find a Steelers Helmet window car. Add a black velvet base and some LED lights and the car is practically done. Oh, and I think he has some reflective material inside on the roof to better reflect the light.
