I have something strange - a great northern F7 shell that isn't like any other ones I've seen. It's rather thick, has dual headlights, green stripes along the top of the nose, and an accurate pilot with only a tiny gap for the coupler. The windshield glass is very distinctively flush with the OUTSIDE of the shell. The headlight lenses were part of this really big two-pronged light bar, and ever since I broke that thing off, the whole shell smells overpoweringly of lemon-scented cleaner and it's really awful. (sorry, no pics, camera is broken again ) Any guesses?

Been trying to fit the thing onto an athearn frame, but surgery on it (and a clothespin on my nose!) looks to be the only option.

I have an old F unit with a light guide as you described, and a small opening in the pilot for the coupler. The coupler is body mounted, I think with a plastic pin. I don't remember about the other stuff you mentioned though. I'm pretty sure it's a Life Like.

I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates, who said, "... I drank what?"

LL and Tyco were the ones to use a pinned body mount front coupler.
