DJ, I've been meaning to film those engines but have been busy with other things lately. I think I took the old Q1 video down because of the generic sounds.
My latest efforts have been directed at a bit more layout scenery:

I like those houses. Everything looks startlingly real!

So here is a few questions. I am going to put the S1 sounds in my Q1 and I would like to put in a better speaker. The engine has a 8ohm 2W speaker. Can I swap that out for 2 fat boys? They are 16ohm 1W. I'm not sure if I will fry the boards if I do that.

Also my read switch is working good and smooth but it only gives me like 3 chuffs per driver revolution. Any suggestions on that?

Thank you!
