I purchased a Tyco floodlight car off Ebay several weeks ago, and the description said mostly metal. they were wrong, it is the mostly plastic version. Disappointed, I still bought it, but didn't leave the seller feedback because of the faulty description. Well, last Sunday, I had an idea, and I made it happen. Tuesday night saw me light it up at the Train shop job. I basically replaced the floodlight with a plastic round insert, used some 18 gauge steel wire to form a pole, bent it to mount sideways into the cupola, and ran the light out enough and tied it off. Bam, a pole-dancing MOW car! I need to find the appropriate woman to go with it, but it works well, the light doesn't flicker at all, so I am happy now with my purchase. Figured the MOW gang needed some entertainment, as the bars were getting too expensive!
