I've also done the wood paneling in the cap.
Of course with a tiny Led for the cap light.  :thumb:

Hi all,

I've completed the wood panels in the cap and weathered them slightly.
The ESU Loksound decoder is also installed and most functions are connected and working.
Sound as well.
I've made a small change to my circuit board to incorporate a second resistor as the headlights
where just to bright, even with a 4.7 K ohm resistor.

Agreed! :thumb:

Thanks for the positive words.
It has been a challenging, but also rewarding build.
If it wasn't for me making a dump mistake which allowed the magical decoder smoke, that resides in all decoders, to escape
she would be running on my layout now.
Unfortunately I've not been able to get the smoke back into the decoder.
New decoder has been ordered.
This thread will then be updated.
