I thought of yellow but it was still to bright and clearly showed the motor head but I will try that for another one I have. I appreciate all the comments.

I figured out how to post the pics, I started a new thread with the green cab lights.

I didn't really care about the color but the original headlights were grain of wheat bulbs and no room for mounting a standard bulb. If you can a clear green would do for a standard socket. The type that are used in Lionel signal accessories. Thanks for the compliment and they did look strange with no cab lights. I guess MTH couldn't splurge the extra 50 cents it cost to light the cabs.

I had a set of older MTH UP E-3's that came without interior lights. A traditional light bulb couldn't be used because the front motor is mounted too close to the front of the cab.  I improvised and took a single piece of LED strip lighting 3 lights per 2 inch piece and put it in the top of the cab. There was still one problem though with a white light the motor showed way too much so I tinted the LED strip with Tamyra clear green paint. I would like to get opinions on how this looks good or bad before I decide to do anymore that I have without interior lighting.

I use to tap into the headlight also but after the first couple of times it seemd I was making it harder than it should be. I started taking 26 AWG stranded wire and making small loops at the end just big enough for the roller screw to fit through and another for the ground on the other end. Normally you would use smale round connectors but the are too thick and the screws don't have enough thread.  TVR the wires to the side of the shell so the stay out of the way. I will post a pic of the ones I did tonight.

Agreed Testors is the way to go. Your LHS should have it.

Any Williams and WBB can out pull any locomotive I have from MTH and most of my Lionel.  I have no problem pulling +25 cars with power to spare. I would add more cars but this is all I have right now. They are both PW and modern freight cars and they pull the cars like they aren't even there and can handle mild grades with no problem. WBB cannot be beat in both value and dependability. I am just waiting for Bachmann to release some new E-8s.

Looks sharp, you may also want to add one small section of strip LED lights for the cab.  It is a little complicated as you have to run the leads to the back pickup and ground but the effect is great. I did this for my CB&Q F-7s and they look fantastic. If I can figure out a way to post a pic I will.

I just recieved an older model Jupiter as a gift the loco itself is in perfect condition except the headlight is burned out. Does anyone know where instructions are located on how to change these light bulbs?
Thanks

Did you ever find the El Capitan SF passenger cars?

I have quite a few WBB diesels and love them and would trade or sell them for anything. The steamers on the other hand are very expensive for what you get compared to MTH or Lionel although Lionel smoke units even their fan driven units are not great. You can control the smoke on the MTH Rail King steamers as not to get smogged out of the room. I have several MTH steamers that I bought for far less than a WBB that has less than half of the features. I can live without the chuffing sounds but a steamer with no steam that doesn't compute to me. The TB II whistle is great far better than any MTH whistle and I know that my WBB diesels will be around far longer than any of my MTH diesels. We have a great variety in this hobby and I will continue to buy WBB diesels as they are my favorites with better than Lionel quality at half the price or less.

Does anyone know if WBB will start having fan driven smoke units in their locomotives in the near future. I really like the WBB trains but I have only purchased one and was so dissapointed with the lack of smoke I sold it off right away. It had a ton of power and could pull everything I had.  Their Steam locomtives are quite expensive and offer very little incentive to buy over the other manufactures. It would be great if they decide to enter the 21st century with their locomotives. They have True Blast plus so they are heading in the right direction.
