During the quarantine, I managed to complete the C&O Yellowbelly. Again, a huge thanks to Mario and Todd on the wiring diagrams to help me out with this locomotive. The RailSounds 2 board needed an extra wire soldered to the chuff input on the CC to get the chuff sounds to work - something you won't need to do on RS4/5 locomotives.
Overall, very happy with how it came out. My only minor complaint is the motor gets a tad warm, but since I likely won't have it pull more than the 4 matching Heavyweights, it shouldn't strain it too badly. The whistle on these older RailSounds 2 locomotives is a bit more sporadic at higher speeds (considering they were originally dealing with locomotives making one chuff per revolution), but I'm glad to have one of my favorite locomotives operate even better.
Now to get to work on the 763E 5344...
