NICE work!! You've obviously used a LOT of patience with those handrails... Looking good though! I'm about to get going on two Kato SD38-2s, and I'll be keeping an eye on what you're doing. I need some ideas!! For one, it never dawned on me to use phosphorus bronze for air lines... I've always used .012 brass wire. Works, but bends and "dings" with even mild truck handling - like putting the lines on in the first place!! Thanks for that one. ~ Carmine

Got the first set soldered........takes a hot iron and a quick hand. Only six more to go.

Hi All, Did a little experiment on using SMD LED`s for lighting the numberboards for my SD40-2 project......first pic is using Micro Scale lightable numberboard decals with an led.............second pic is with a piece of Evergreen white styrene .030 x .100 glued to the back of the numberboard with 1 led to test with......I find it helps to diffuse and spread the light. I`ll use two SMD LED`s in each numberboard.

Thanks, I`ve never seen anyone do lighting with LED`s like this.................so I thought why not give it a try.
