My Dark Diesel Side

[Schraddel]

As there are a lot of pictures, the post was divided.



The antique 1,5 filiament bulbs were repalced by warm white LEDs. Here in the photo #738 is equipped with LEDs while #715 has still its old bulbs. See thej difference.
Couplers were also replaced by Kadee scale head with whiskers.









O.k. my layout is still a construction site.
The last task was to syncronize all 3 srceaming EMD Diesels. My intention is the two zebra-striped GP9s, #706 and #715 will be permenently lashed up to a consist under the same digital adress with #715 as the leading unit and #706 in reverse direction as the trailing unit. As additional power #738 may be added to the consist.
There was some tricky CV configurating, that all three equal sound decoders did not sound exact equal, but differ a little bit as the prototype do.

Above also ATSF steamer #1129 is seen. These 2-6-2 1050 class steamers were the GPs of their time, more of this modell will be posted in future if you like.
