B&O EM-1 decoder install (cont)

Removed the 'blown' LED's in the classification lights and installed new ones, being careful not to have any shorts to the boiler shell.  Used a voltmeter to check everything.  I put some crystal klear in the holes to protect the wires.

Finally, everything's working!

With the headlight mounted on the front driver engine, another set of wires was routed there.

A two prong connector made for easy PM.

The wires were routed through some 1/16" diameter heat shrink and then routed through the two frames of the driver engines.

Next; assembly and road test.
