Hi, I just created an account with trains.com forum.  This is the second post I've read, and I'm not able to find progress picks at the link you provided (http://users.eastlink.ca/~brownscountry/Gscale.htm).  I've got a big hauler and I'm real interested in your sound mod.  Curious about how it's working and sounds.  Anyway the one pic I see of the finished steam engine and tender look good, just would like to see more pics (and sound).  Thanks, Paul in Fbg

 I ordered in a new Sound card QSI and whle waiting for it to arrive I decided it should have its own power from the tender wheels. I only had Bachmman wheels so I had to make some Modifications.

Then to pick up power I made my own bushings.

 Down Draft table is a table you sand on that draws the dust into the sable and filters it. This eliminates saw dust in your face and no need to wear a mask. also I has enough suction power to hold the wood down to the table.

Looks like you have been rather busy.  OK I may be having a "senior moment" here but, what is a "Down Draft Table"?
