Dave, My journey and first install was a trying and learning experience. The speakers I purchased were the wrong model and my fault. I watched a youtube video and wrote the incorrect number down from the presenter.

Ah, so you milled to the wrong size?   :P  I was looking at the last 3 photos, and couldn't figure out what "the waste of time" was...

Dave, I'll post a photo tomorrow. Everything is ok just a little lighter. I accidentally deleted the money image. ;D

Looking great Larry! Hardly see a trolley type lift like that anymore.

I painting my barrel bands with a leaded pencil or paint the entire barrel a rust tone first and then come back with a fine brush and cut in to color the wood. Sometimes it doesn't matter because I'm shakey jake. My hands are slowly heading South.

Done what Rick said with a pointed brown sharpie and works great. Silver works great on exhaust & such!

I wanted to add all the electrics to the engine only. I wasted an evening milling the saddle on my Unimat lathe hoping the clearance would be correct only to waste my time. Here are some pictures of what not to do.

Here are the electronics.

TCS WOW Steam with KA 3 Keep Alive.

Led lighting. 670K resistor added.

TCS 1336 6 Pin Mini Connector & Wire Harness added to make the connection.

Automotive wheel weights added.

Coal box scratched and adding. Real coal will be added later. I added foam the coal area to take up room and try keeping it from being top heavy.

Speaker is glued to the center of tender. (TCS 1717) I tried 2 other speakers and this one is the best IMO.
