JACK ON TRACKS DECODER INSTALLS.

Ok so there really isn't a lot I could do for the lighting since the rear light are trapped in the shell, but I do think what I was able to do came out pretty good.

 What do you think let me know in the comments.

So, my gears came in from Northwest Short Line for this Bachmann Spectrum Doodle bug so it's time to get it back in-service and since we are opening it up, we Might as well upgrade these lights to LEDs. This was not a simple as it should have been since I had somehow lost the drive saft and had to rethink my lighting options for the front head light, but I manage to get it done without if getting flying lessons.

So, after numerous failures of the 4 new Digitrax decoders I installed in these Bachmann F unit I pulled the two SDXH167d decoders out and installed these Econami Decoders and I was instantly happy with my chose.
Stay tuned till the end to hear these engine roar.

Here we go and install a decoder buddy mini with an ESU decoder into a customer's Locomotive.
It was a pretty straightforward installation I added LEDs and made a bracket for the cab light.

Upgrade your Athearn MP15AC with rich, crystal-clear sound! In this episode of Jack on Tracks, I install a Scale Sound Systems speaker and an ESU LokSound decoder, walking you through the full process—from opening the box to wiring, fitting the 3D-printed speaker, programming the decoder, and testing it on the track. If you’re into model train sound installs, Athearn locomotives, ESU decoders, or Scale Sound Systems upgrades, this video shows exactly what to expect and how it performs.
