Just arrived , the 4door packard I was looking for , very good quality , everything opens , front wheels turn off the steering wheel , even has a cloth roof ! , but as I thought , it is a lot bigger than the one I used on the ramp .Might paint it up and make a remove able bracket for above the cloud and led its lights , what do you guys think ? I,ll try it anyway and put some photos up . As I say it will be remove able any way
OP
OP
Well this is going to be a lot harder to paint than the small one , hope it goes back together

That's another train complete , don't know which one is going on freebie Friday , I,ll try them both and see which led. Looks best !

I
think that is all mine are - packard Victorias , except the big 4 door I just got ,I bought a Packard Victoria but it didn't look right and that was because I never noticed it was a four door.

You don,t have to grovel anymore! Your train is in the postDo you do coach work for a living?
That is looking very good.
Just out of interest, where the hell are you going to put this once finished ?
OP
OP
Out of interest have you read the previous posts , ! So that is one option , maybe thought of 2more options , sorry can't write the second and third option as it's censored . Ps it's nice to be nice , r u always so neg !!!! ,
Not negative at all , its just that you are doing all the great work and you said yourself that with the size of the car you didn't know where it would go.
You mentioned the cloud and a bracket but that doesn't make sense to me the top of the backboard is totally taken up by the cloud.
I just think the model car is to big for a mod but I will wait and see where you have planned for it.
Sorry if I offended you, there was no intent on my part.

Ok , big packard finished , including LEDs
ignore the mess , ! 
This is the approx position I am thinking of putting the car , opinions ? Please ignore the temp bracket. ( door. Wedge). And also lights not wired in yet , just trying it in position for feedback. 
Just a photo of the car with lights working
Have got a load of cars in a drawer somewhere so will have a look and see if I have anything similar

Wot do you think of it. , like , dislike or too much ?
I like the blue glow from inside the car.
Problem I have is I have zero space above my Addams.
Any other options ?

It does look a bit tight on the roof , chimney on your roof? , lol
I have had a look and it will go in front of either decal on either side of the cloud and it could be sloped down the same and pointing in towards the centre , I ll se if I can make a quick mockup to show you what it looks like
@Lee ellison - i saw this and thought of you!

Limo finally installed! I've been busy with other things . Lights flash with the cloud lights , good , bad or ugly ? 
Just need to tidy the wiring up
OP
OP
Thanks , also forgot to mention it is totally remove able with no extra holes put in the backbox or the cloud , so no damage doneI like it, the car looks great and the location is easily reversible and not distracting.
I keep forgetting to buy some double sided sticking pads to fit the train you sent me.
