Here is the only diesel in my roundhouse bought it in non running condition got her running so I thought I'd give it a little sprucing up and better smoke.  Installed a new cab light so the roof could be removable, replaced the head light bulbs with LEDs, added a small bit of detail to the controls, replaced the Bachmann windows with individual panes, Kadee couplers, new cut bars and chains, and Ozark Glad Hands and Valves  Modified the Bachmann smoke units by replacing the wound coil with an 18 ohm wire wound resistor and some fiberglass wadding and added two mini muffin fans right behind each radiator vent to fan drive the smoke, still playing with the resistance for better smoke at lower voltage, Phoenix 2K2 sound board with custom volume control and battery switch board. Repainted black with yellow handrails.  I tried to upload a video of the smoke but could not here.
