Jack,

I am working on installing DCC in my engine and using surface mounted LEDs (SMD) as lighting. I am installing them in the headlight, classification lamps, cab light and firebox light.

To reduce the number of wires from the tender to the engine, I decided to use 2 decoders, the first decoder is a light only TCS FL4 decoder. This decoder will go into the smoke box. The second decoder will be a Tsunami and it will go into the tender.

I have found myself bouncing back to scenery in between waiting for glue to dry on my other projects. I am trying to only have one thing going at a time, but I get bored and here is the result.
