I could use a spotlight car.
Heck, Model Power had you covered. Their spotlight car lit up the room unbelievably well once it melted and caught fire.

I am all for spoofs and fantasy if it keeps model manufacturers in business. In reality, if animals were allowed to poke their heads out of a moving train there would be a lot of headless critters being unloaded. Then again, a headless horse with splashes of blood running down the slats of the car would go great with MTL's and Atlas' Halloween series.  :facepalm:

Replace bulb with Cree LED.  Don sunglasses and run trains.   :trollface:

I'm thinking we should have some of the significate members of railwire scanned and provide 3d prints to insert in those openings.  Imagine Ed waving to you as the car goes by on your layout  LOL 

Oh man, Micro-Trains x Miniprints. I'm HERE for it.

Wait, actually I'm here: https://www.miniprints.com/product/ed-k/

I have an N scale Ed K.  I just need to paint it before he debuts on the N scale Housatonic RR.    ;)

Um, isn't there a actors strike going on now, with one issue being use of scans of the actors without paying the actors per use?

Do we need to pay Ed for running his scanned likeness around our layouts?  Maybe Plaid TRW membership could include unlimited use of Ed prints?

Oh *****, yeah, I should definitely be getting $0.05 off of every one of those sold.

*****, I'd probably have a quarter by now!

I think the analogy has you getting paid per foot your model is moved on the layout.

Waiting for my exploding ammo boxcar...

I have to wonder how many of those are intact, as in having all the pieces. The time or two I played with a friend's exploder, the pieces went everywhere including under furniture.

Home cleaning chemicals + chlorine tank cars = authentic railroad smells!
