I am looking for someone to do modifications to one or three of my Polar Express passenger cars.
Can you make a recommendation?
Thank you, Rdeal

What modifications do you have in mind? Lighting is one thing but everything else is another matter.

Assuming your talking about passenger car interiors: Jack Pierce (from Canada) has established himself as THE reference-standard for interior lighting and details for all kinds of passenger cars. But he's so busy, he stopped taking new requests until his backlog is caught up. He usually has tables in the front section of the Orange Hall at York. So April York might be the time he provides an update as to his availability for new requests.

Hobo Fire - Evans designs U5F Fire kit, 3 LED bulbs that blink orange, and
Move Conductor to Observation Car – Keep lamp lighted
Lighted drumhead – red taillight
Add boy to Hobo fire and Little Girl to Observation (?) (?)
Thank You, Rdeal

Wellll, I've done 2 of these items you are asking about. The red taillight and the camp fire. I also, added a fan driven smoke unit to the car.
Adding the Hero boy to the roof is fairly easy. Adding the girl to the Observation car is a bit more difficult as she's larger than the scale of the car.
The Conductor would also be the same problem, way too big for the rear deck. The drumhead is easy, and the only one I've seen is massively large for the size of the car.
But then again I haven't look recently.
***EDIT*** Currently there's no one producing a lighted drumhead. I may have one source I'm going to look into. Please stand by.

***Another Edit*** I just looked at the other source and they don't have the lighted drumhead. I fear that this may be a copyright issue. But I am going to contact them and ask.
Please stay tuned.

The red tail light is easy. Just remember to darken the roof area near the light so it doesn't bleed through.

As I indicated in my first post. Rear Tail light w/ white rear deck lighting.  Sorry for the blurry screenshot, but here's the campfire with fan driven smoke. The 2 second video clip was too large.  |
