NICE job.  that's a lot of upgrade work you did on that engine.  I do prefer to leave a lot of my old 50's 60's steam engines the way they are.  NO, I'm not a collector I buy to run them on the track but just kind of prefer them stock.  My entire layout is still using a transformer style system I have not upgraded to TMCC or any of the  newer modes of running trains.  I guess at 74 I'm stuck in my ways by using a MRC dual controller with a cabled hand held throttle.  I also use an older ALTROL cabled controller but it has momentum control for the AC trains.  I guess I really would love to switch over to the newer stuff but don't want the hassle of doing it.  I actually concentrate more on scenery and details on the layout as you can see by the picture.  This layout has been in existence for 40+ years and most of the scenery is done and now I concentrate on details and I did scratch build a lot of my buildings back in the days.  Again great job with the conversion on the B6 and I think I will check out my wires running to the circuit board and do your recommendation on it.  Still so much to do on the layout and as the body ages it gets a little harder getting in those cramped positions on the layout to work on it
