I think the details may be Verlinden, not sure, I got them years ago. The helmets DO have the white sheild with SS lightning bolts on the right side, but have the standard eagle on the left, yet it looks different than the 21st helmet. The hemets BTW are FOV ones ;) You know, the more I think about ...

Nope, not rich, just do my train selling/trading in order to get more 1/18th stuff. I do custom work on G scale trains for extra $$$ on a different forum.

You may also want to try any larger well stocked hobby shop and use the small brass tubing that they sell for R/C airplanes. It can be cut to lenght with a track saw(atlas trains) and they would be a little more rigid.

It does look nice, but I know that Aristocraft makes a nice stone arch bridge in G scale that could be easily widened to 1/18th scale. It too is made on polysomething foam that is hard. It must be about 4 feet long too. I personally like the truss style bridge LGB makes in 1/22 scale. THe only thing...

Hey ram04 and everyone, I hope to get to the point where everything is wired and set up so I can take some tripod shots on the "bulb" setting with the digicam.

I think I paid somewhere between $50 -$80 for the cars each back when. Each light has about 3 feet of wire attached to it, so I guess that each stationary light will be powered by a transformer under the table. I am working on re-working an LGB floodlight car and I will post on it when I get done wi...

I'm not sure if you can get the light by itself, but I bought the cars on Evil bay years ago, then removed the lights and gave the flatcars to my grandson :) To find parts for these cars would be hard, so I guess you have to get the whole car :( Not sure of the floodlight tower, I think it was made ...

Hey Capt'n, The searchlight is the one that came on the Lionel Large scale(G scale) floodlight car. It DOES work !!!! I just don't have it wired up right now. I am fortunate to have 2 of them.
