This switcher was a Keystone kit. I've installed an ESU Loksound decoder (NMRA Bulletin, June 2007). My friend is the programing guru - and a Star Wars fan. :angel:
For the gons I've tested different ways, hair dryer, glue, milling (it becomes hot and you can bend it, too). You can read about it at my Diamond Valley sites.
Weathering is done with Dullcote, chalk and again Dullcote.
