LEGACY Conversion MTH GS4 #4449 American Freedom Train

This time it is a personal project. This is an MTH Ps2 5v AFT Gs4 that I got. As always, even with the preventative measures the 5v board died. I installed a 3v replacement and it died as well. With that said, I was done with Protosounds in this thing and decided to go Legacy. I started in the tender by modifying it to accommodate my favorite full size fatboy speaker. I had to cut into the pot/switch bracket. Worked well and sprayed it with some semi gloss black after I was done. I also added some additional switches to the the tender mount as there is not enough for the switches I wanted. A Lionel coupler was also installed into the tender. On the engine side of things I began installing LEDs for lighting, reused the old heat sink to mount the RCMC, and began wiring the locomotive. It is coming along nicely. More work to come.
