Hi everyone!
Wanted to share pics of a fun rebuild & Dcc sound upgrade. After stripping and soldering loose parts, I worked on articulating front bogie to traverse uneven track better. Added all wheel pickups. Added Zimo sound decoder with current keeper and nano led headlights, 2x3mm cab light and nano red led in a custom made rear lantern and peeling paint weathering. Hope you enjoy! One note here: Bryan from The Streamlined Backshop helped me with the Zimo 4 cylinder gasoline sound file. Very cool.
Thanx Thom...
