BNSF Warbonnets

I recently enhanced several BNSF locomotives in the warbonnet paint scheme with some detail and weathering.  My article was recently published in the May/Jun issue of N Scale Railroading.

Kato P42 w/ MRC Sound (x2)

I installed a matching MRC sound decoder (model # 1645) in my 2nd Kato P42 the other night.  Each decoder is set up exactly the same, with the same CV adjustments that I made for speed control.  The decoders are not consisted, but rather have the same address programmed.

Kato P42 w/ MRC Sound

I recently purchased a pair of Kato P42 locomotives to run as the Empire Builder on my new model railroad that is currently under construction.  I decided to give the MRC sound decoder a try after lots of research and mixed reviews.  The install was fairly straight forward, and so far it is operating well.  I took the video camera and captured a few minutes of video to share with others.  It was a quick shoot, so I apologize for the low light and the noise from the tripod.  I am interested in feedback, so please don't hesitate to post a comment here or email me.  Thanks for listening.

Union Pacific (former C&NW) AC4400 "Patch"

I haven't posted anything for a few weeks so I found some photos of my first C&NW patch unit I did a couple years ago.  I started with the Microscale decal set that is made specifically for patch units and then applied a generous amount of weathering with an airbrush.
