Paint around the edge of the box and there you are.<br /><br />I also rewired the lights adding a LED to separately light the number boards on a DCC function.<br /><br />RayRay Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16624865987062727847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9074654920193695267.post-19099478184096752362013-01-16T13:38:02.565+11:002013-01-16T13:38:02.565+11:00Ray,
