Here are a few pics of my "standard" destination boxes as used in Sydney untill the first of the P class trams came along with inbuilt destination boxes..... None actually finished yet but you can get the jist of this from the pics, they are cast in clear resin with 2 warm white 3mm LEDS encapsulated to provide the illumination for night time running....
I chose Bondi as the first destination, probably everyone has heard of the "Bondi Tram"....
The destinations will be cut out and placed in the space for them and then a skim of clear resin will create the glass. Then the remainder will be painted so that the light only shines through the destination screen at night...
The real thing can be seen on the front of the O class tram in the first pic, the longer one goes on the roof midway along so the passengers boarding from the side know where they are going, but not necessesarily whom they are going there with...
This chaps is why I get no where with my tramway, I tend to bog down on the details.... Oh yes I use a Chinese Micro Mill that I bought on Ebay for only AU$600, and worth every red cent....
