Below:       Notice: Model Sold                                                     Sound/lights test video:
O-Scale Atlas Cast/plastic 2 Rail B&A SW9 rebuild and DCC upgrade. Original model stripped and grit blasted, 3 grain o wheat type bulbs replaced with multiple LEDs for working headlights, rear lights, number board lights, cab lights and dash gauge lights.  Soundtraxx TSU-4400 sound decoder installed with custom made brass mounting bracket, current keeper and two large bass speakers (one oval under front top radiator grill and one round just in front of cab).  Both had custom made baffles to ensure inside clearance.  Model was painted with Scalecoat I loco black paint, cab interior painted with Floquil cab green.  All grab irons, air hoses, and railings are Delrin plastic painted white w/Microscale decals for Boston & Albany #603. Extra weight added in fuel tank for improved tractive effort. 6 different color LEDs added in dash panel over the one white bulb to simply for added interest.  Note: no known prototype, model is presented for the B&A flavor.                                                                                                                                                                                                  Thanx Thom...
