As some of you may have gathered from previous posts concerning motor blocks and sound unit I am making a start on improving the basic LGB LCE train. for those of you who are not aware, this is a nice toy, the problem is all the windows are stickers and transfers.
I brought a 2nd hand LCE last year after always wanting one when I was younger, (I'm living the dream, and easy to please) unfortunately the body was a little beat up so I decieded it'd need a paint job and thought I'd improve it at the same time. Fast forward six months to now and I have finally cleared enough space on the work bench to make a start.
Before I start giving the commentary I must add that I aquired a 2nd LCE train last year with the intention of running them as a twin set, only when it arrived it was the newer version with different graphics and nose cones. I have now decided to merge them into one train. I will modify both styles of cab and whichever looks the better will be the one that gets put on the finished 5 car train.
