Hey everyone, while working on some shorting issues I had with my NS SD70 I did some cosmetic work on it. for some time I wanted to see if I could install some ground lights on an MTH diesel, at first I. Thought I could wire 2 additional LEDs in series from the interior light feed, but that was not possible since the output was not enough for even 3 LEDs (1 for interior and 2 foe the grounds) any way I decided to used the interior lighting output for the ground lights. I used surface mount LEDs and esu's thin cable (highly recommend it). i also replaced the two engineers with two figures that look more scale to me, the mth ones sit too high and are literally cloned for every loco. I also did some interior decorattion and kitbashed the cab camera. Finally, playing around with some plastic sheet and a tinted acetate I came up with these tinted windows, I like them because they fit more flush to the frame and they hide the mth interior, which is not the most attractive to say the least. Anyway hope you find some of this useful in some way.
