Howdy, A pic or three of a doodlebug in the works for the Birdsboro & Reading Railroad. A Tsunami micro/750 decoder with GE / Cummins sound will be installed along with parts to make this into a double ended doodlebug.     |

Na Vince, i think that would go to the Milwaukee Roads bulldog motor cars. Theyre on my list to build someday, too much scratchbuilding for now though.
The doodlebug is turning out nice, whatbare you using to power it?

Here are a few more pics of the slow progress ......... Made a removable roof hatch.......   .......so that I can get access to 4 electrical switches...........  ............for use with all the wires I need to be able to run straight DC or DCC through the Tsunami Micro-750 GE Cummins sound decoder.  |

Hi brgp302300,
Nice job on the doodlebug. What type of connectors did you to connect the wires to the switches?

Hi brgp302300, Nice job on the doodlebug. What type of connectors did you to connect the wires to the switches? Erik They are soldered directly onto the switches.......then covered with small heat shrink tubing. |

Hi All, A couple of pics of recent progress on the doodle bug........the switches have been removed due to the fact that this will be DCC only........I can not fit all of the wires into the body without it looking like a lot of crap is inside. Two of four markers that will be used.    |
