I cant tell what all of them are, #2 from the left is a clock. Center looks like a speedometer. No clue on the other three except one is probably brake pipe pressure and one could be a thermometer.

Altimeter,barometer,turboencapsulator,septic tank level,water tank level…Don’t know and don’t care as it’s there.

But this would be cool in 1:24…http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=qKAWBNl4MeA

Number 1 looks like a volt meter. Jon is correct on 2 & 3. Thermometer, indoors and/or outdoors, are also pretty common on varnish.

Pull the chain, and the ““Bat Signal”” shines in the sky…

No fancy tooling just a model from scratch as I see it…

Great job! If you ever allow apprentices, I’m sure I’ll be one of the first to sign up! I enjoy watching/reading how you (and others) take ordinary items and use them for details ( for example the bathroom items). I’m trying to change my view of the world to be able to see these things myself. I hope with more time under my belt, I’ll be able to see the things that you (and others) do. Thanks for sharing Matt ( looks like I lost the reference to the image in my quote. Il. Have to post more to get a hang of this :-))
