Ok it’s time for me finish this DC-DCC conversion of an Athearn Genesis GP9. I started this a few years ago but never got back to it as my workbench turned into an office desk. Things to do;
- build a speaker enclosure,
- replace the original grain of wheat bulbs with LEDs,
- Program the ESU Loksound 4 decoder,
- reassemble it without breaking it,
-and finally weather the model.
