Am working same engine ( different shell ) right now. Got cleaned and lubed and started reassembly. Am now waiting to see what you do with the LED lights ( supposedly in the second video ) to get an idea of what I might do, other than what I planned. Stay tuned - am now trying to get two F-7s to run together ( one engine running the same direction as the front engine - only backwards ) to create a true A-B-B-A consist with both "A" units powered. I do have old Model Power powered "B" unit, but painted the different paint scheme from, say Milw Road or C & NW. Just sos you know, my small layout ( 6 X 6 ) is "DC"!!! I am tooo old to try to learn DCC.

I am planning on doing LED installation in part 2 (or 2 5 if it is too long). I will be wiring in a decoder in the last part. For DC I would use an LED wired so the positive is connected to the position rail when the engi e is moving forward.

Most of the stuff you are showing us is either off cam or way over to the far bottom right of the camera view...

[@jemhobbies]

Yes I know, that unfortunately is a result of working in tight quarters and poor eyesight. I try to keep things in camera as much as possible. Thank you for watching.
