I ordered two, they just came in friday, which leads to another issue. N scale fire houses(Fire Stations). I checked Walthers out, did a Google search. All but one I found at Walthers was European, the one I did find was made by Pikestuff. Can anybody out there direct me to some other source of American(preferably southern, 1980's, 1990's vintage, or maybe earlier, fire houses tend to stay around for a while) fire station kits? If not, well, I have already been talking to some friends I have in the Fire Service. Back to the fire trucks. I already have one disassembled. That is why I bought two. And I have documented it photographically. I am planning on how to give it working lights. And thank you very much Mr. Serendipity. I was up on the Newark Electronics web page and they had some plastic Agilent fiber optics that are just about the perfect size for the headlights. I got about eight feet, some 3 candle white led's plus the rest of my collection. Comes in handy being a HAM operator, electronics homebrewer, and packrat extradinare. I am documenting every step of giving the fire trucks prototype winky-blinky lites. Now if someone can direct me to a really good firestation kit... Paul
