Actually, it has nothing to do with the lights. They're connected to another part of the board. All I did was move the motor wires over to the tabs that the wheel pickups connect to. The lights still get the power they need.

I have seven that needed this modification as my Kato RSC-2 was outrunning all of them. The pic below explains the modification quite well.The modification is simple. It just takes time for me to do it because of the small parts involved. Now all of them can keep up with my DC only Athearns and they run circles around the Kato RSC-2.

That's my version of the real auto bridge at Thurmond WVA that was still there as late as 1985
Up intill the late 30's there were no cars in Thurmond
The Auto bridge was added on the side of the Train bridge and reminded me of something
out of an Indiana Jone's movie
I watched a Guy try to drive a winniebago across it one day
His wife had to walk backwards accross the bridge while signalling him
It was a very tight squeeze

Nice, nice work folks. I do look forward to seeing and being challenged by the work each of you do!I have been doing a lot of odds and ends this week. Finally got around to finishing a set of drawers for storage of hobby stuff with a bookcase on top. The mess at the top will be hidden by the facia when that goes up )sometime this winter....).I also spent some time adding bushes, grass, and other scenery to the area near the yard leads at the Hopwell Junction Yard.The upper part of this area is where Thompson Tiles is located. I added a forest on the backdrop. This must be second growth BTW as Thompson's has harvested all the hardwood near by for use as fuel for the ovens.Oh, how could I forget! The band is playing their first concert at the gazebo! It is rumored that famed opera star Ramundo Howard is back home and may do a guest aria or two with the band later. (Well that type of thing does happen around here. Gym Class Heroes just came home to Geneva for a concert at the Smith Opera House!)
All but one photo is of HO scale. The other is in 1/1 scale. I'll let you decide which it is......
Ray Seneca Lake, Ontario, and Western R.R. (S.L.O.&W.) in HO
We'll get there sooner or later!
Nice pics everyone, hope this will be a fun loving weekend for all.
I have been working on the HO scale barn all week and I don't have much to show but I will post a pic of it as of now.
I will post some other pics of another scene when I get it ready.
Have a good weekend. Mike

here is my project for the week.
Ho scale
Welcome to another session of Weekend Photo Fun
We had a great session last week, so let's keep it rolling!
I would ask that we please consider continuing to follow these guidelines when participating:
1. Remember to mention what scale is featured in your picture(s).
2. Consider keeping the number of photos in your post to a minimum. Remember that this is a weekly event, meaning there are 52 opportunities per year to post pictures, so don't feel the need to post them all at once. Spread them out over time so we can enjoy them longer.
3. Please, if you feel the urge to make a criticism, keep it constructive and civil. In fact I'd suggest using the PM (Private Messaging) tool for this purpose so this topic doesn't stray.
**Oh, and one more thing... GO RED SOX! (Sorry, couldn't resist)
Now on to the photos:
My photo is N-scale. An Atlas plate grider bridge (dressed up a bit) over a stream on my layout. The backdrop is digitally added (plain sky blue on my layout).
