I believe this is what Tom is referring to in July 2017, and I hope to attend.

Bob,

Dr. Jeff got it correct. The NMRA is coming to Orlando in July of 2017 and I've been asked if I want to show the layout. I need to get real busy on the second level. So, no brass painting until after that.

I figured I'd go the extra mile and add lighted marker lights to the locos.

Here is Seaboard 2-8-2, #493 with the back head light. Sorry, I should have turn off the overhead light.



Here is SAL #493 with the lit green marker lights.

#849 with lit white marker lights.

Here are both the 2-8-2 and the 4-6-2.



Red markers were added to the rear of the pacific #849.



As time permits, more lighted marker lights will be added.
