Walthers Comet Cab II, NJ Transit detailing help

[mtliker]

I'm trying to detail a HO Scale Walters Comet Cab II NJ Transit car, and need help finding decals, lights, and horn details.

What I'm modeling off of:

www.panoramio.com/photo_explorer#view=photo&position=138&with_photo_id=55965149&order=date&user=4721440&tag=passenger%20car

Something similar, but I want to add working DCC lights:

Years ago, RMC had an article on upgrading the Walthers Comet cars, but I have no idea when.

October, 1988.

The RMC May 1995 issue had the NJT article and there were more articles by the same author on a lot of good commuter projects.

My bad. This article was for the Comet IV cars.
