Continuing my poorly shot, horribly narrated and terribly edited series, I present the following shot before much coffee on a cold morning, so you get bonus furnace kickon in video. Sorry...no cat cameos this time around. They're all smart and are sleeping. :)
2 x HO scale Kato P42's converted to ESU LokSound- Trucks hardwired, factory light board modified with pins for a decoder and jumper wires. ESU 11x17 speakers and round housings (x2) installed. ESU 58420 V5 decoder installed (these were on backorder forever), LED's for seperate ditchlights wired in, decoder programmed to S0582 and lighting function mapped for appropriate output.
2 x N Kato SD70M's converted to ESU LokSound- mechanism torn down and slightly modified for decoder, custom 15x8 speaker and 3d printed housing installed. ESU 58741 decoder installed that has had 3mm LED's and motor clips soldered on. seperate wired 0402 warm white LED's added for ditch lights...those run back to a dropping resistor bank made from 4700 ohm resistors and scrap light board material. Programmed to ESU file S0720. Note where the UP unit glitched at the end...that's dirty track. It's too early to edit it out this early in the morning.
1 x N Kato F3 converted to ESU LokSound- frame machined, stock lightboard modified. ESU 58823 V5 micro installed. SMLED's wired up and glued/shrink wrapped to the clipped light pipes so there is a seperate mars light and headlight. Speaker is an 11x17 speaker with 3d printed housing.
1 x N Kato SDP40F converted to ESU LokSound- frame machined for 11x17 speaker (and 3d printed housing). ESU 58741 installed. Programmed to S0765 and tested.
Anywhoo...as I said, extremely quick and dirty this morning.

I don't always catch comments asking stuff in the comments section (YouTube is wierd like that).
As always, I hope you learned something, and if not, I hope you were at least mildly amused.
Have a fantastic day!
