Today at a train show I bought an SD-9, I have always wanted one in missabe but those are very hard to find and when you do find one, very expensive. So when I found a table with a half dozen (not Missabe) less then $30 I jumped on them. Realizing I could only afford one, I settled on a BN with with a flashing beacon on top.
My plans are to paint it into DMIR colors and give it a new low nose. I also want to convert to DCC and want to know how to do that. I have only done locos that have DCC quick plugs.
It made a burning smell when I ran it. But that was a quick a one lap trip around my DCC layout (I can run one DC loco, but I dont, only this test)and that is probably why.
Just wanted to show y'all my new loco and ask about DCC for it. Here are some pics.
