I recently added an additional Rio Grande Southern locomotive to the roster. I purchased this locomotive a Precision Scale T-19, back in 2014 at the National Narrow Gauge Convention in Overland Park, Kansas. I added a Soundtraxx Tsunami-2 Steam Decoder, the TSU-1100, a Soundtraxx Currentkeeper, and a Mini Cube speaker. All of this equipment fit into the small tender! The headlight is illuminated with an LED made by Evan Designs (www.ModelTrainSoftware.com). This LED operates on 7-19 volts AC, DC, or DCC. It includes a tiny bridge rectifier, which I was able to install in the smokebox. The leads are simply soldered to the F0 function leads from the decoder, which are the white and blue wires. There was no need to calculate the size of resistor necessary, as it is included with the LED. I added window glass, painted the tires, axle ends, and journal boxes a weathered white, and installed a coal load made from real crushed and sized narrow gauge coal.
