Replacing incandescent bulbs in my MTH aluminum cars having silhouettes in the windows.
I have both 60 foot and 70 foot scale length MTH aluminum cars.
I have pulled the "window silhouettes" and incandescent bulbs from all my aluminum passenger cars (both 60 foot and 70 foot models).
The 70 foot cars will have new custom made interiors and complete overhead lighting and added underframe detail. The shorter cars will just have "tinted" windows but no lighting or interiors.
I added a "ceiling" and overhead LEDs to each 70 foot car. The ceiling is a single 3/32 wood strip which fits perfectly in the casting along the inside roof line. I replaced the "windows" with .060 clear plastic sheet cut to exact size. These fit perfectly in the aluminum casting without the need to glue in place.
