Big Blue has inspired some purchases

PROBABLY the right thing. I could have put the decoder in and called it done, but all of these extra spare parts laying around would have eventually pushed me to try it anyway! I think it's all going to work, but I still haven't put this on the track to test it yet, so the jury's still out on the intelligence.... The suspense is kinda killing me...

Found a mounting screw bracket for the hood gets in the way of sliding the hood over one of the flywheels, so that went under the cutting wheel as well tonight. I'm currently working out the mounting location for the decoder and figuring out some wire routings and doing some research on if I need a resistor in line on each of the incandescent bulbs. You know, fun DCC stuff...
