If you ever fall over in public, pick yourself up and say “sorry it’s been a while since I inhabited a body.” And just walk away.

I didn't know there would be so much interest. 

I have seen the other 0-6-0T installs done in the past, but I'm using the Tsunami mini.  The capacitor is slightly larger and therefore requires some minor modifications to get it to fit.

The holiday season caught me off guard.  I just started converting my 3rd 0-6-0T.  I'll bring my camera in tomorrow and photograph the process step by step.

 Sorry, the PDF file I had linked to is gone. It is a nice installation including a speaker. I have the PDF file I downloaded from the site but Photo Bucket only allows photos.

I'm planning to do the very thing in the near future, so pictures/guidance would be appreciated.

I'm preparing to performing a second install.  It works pretty well without any hiccups or stalls on 4/127 speed step.  (tested on 20 foot track span)  With a lil tinkering on the wipers, I think I can get it to work at speed step 1 for that 20 feet.  It's close now operating that now..

 If anyone is interested, let me know.  I'll take some photos, and maybe a short video.
