Weekend Update 2/5/23

After a discussion about the oversized tender on the DCC Bachmann 4-6-0, I engineered a swap with @ChristianJDavis1 to get the DC trainset drive to use with a shorter tender.


I think I'd prefer a shorter coal bunker, but for now the short USRA tender makes a lot more sense.





I also like the whitetails!

Added a "few" LED's to a Kato Metra F40PH to allow individual control of number boards, flashing ditch lights, beacon, Gyralight, as well as headlight, rear light / reverse running lights. Need to fix light bleed from ditch lights to reverse marker lights, and program the Gyralight to do its thing. Seemed like there were a few miles of wire inside that thing, wasn't sure I would get shell back on!
