Always Improvising
Last year I bought a BN SD9 off of Dispatcher812, and I hate to say that for most of that time it's sat in its box.. waiting...
Reecently I finally broke it out and got it running. It's an old growler for sure, my P2K GP38 was dead quiet compared to the old hood. (I think it needs some cleaning and maybe oil for sure, where's the best places to lube?)
The Athearn internal setup is not something I'm used to looking at, and in fact it totally caught me off guard. (Also noticed one of the truck connections was off..)
Is it even possible to wire these older Athearns for DCC, or will this old fighter end up a display model? I'm hoping it can be made digital, as I found out that the local Minneapolis yard has one on hand for whatever needs doing: http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=426602
