I need some detailed photos of the cab interior of a 2nd gen SD40-2.

General photos of the inside of the cab and good, square on, photos of the back wall, electrical cabinets and control structures.

Can anybody help me with this?

Bonus points for anybody that can do this for a CN SD40-2W too!

Here's a write up by Tom Mix on scratch building O scale steam engine drivers. Very impressive work.

So, I needed some simulated grid type material for some tiny stairways.

Went to the local hardware store yesterday and asked to see their screen.  It looked good so I asked to buy "about an inch's worth" off the roll.  The store owner cut off a hunk about 1 inch by the width of the roll and said to take it.  3 stairs x 4 stairways per caboose x 5 cabooses x free = free......

Good materials don't always have to cost a mint.

I have two old Tyco diesel locomotives  A GP-20 and a Alco Super 630. I would like to add DCC and sound to these engines but hear that the old TYCO motors draw too much current and will burn out the decoder. Has anyone experience with adding DCC and Sound to these engines? Has anyone swapped out the old motors for new ones?

 Thanks in advance,

Thom
