Demo: BLI Brass Hybrid SOU I1-A 2-10-4

This model came from ‪@CPR2839‬'s collection. I believe he was the second owner, making me the third owner. He did the conversion to ESU V5 using a 58419 21 pin atop a NixTrainz Decoder Buddy Mini. He also soldered in a TCS KeepAlive (this may get swapped for an ESU PowerPack Mini to allow easier tuning on LokProgrammer). After purchasing the model, much of what I have done is really touch up and refinement. I replaced the smokebox face as it was missing the red number plate, the headlight solder joint was broken, and the headlight casting was cock eyed. I touched up black paint in some small spots and touched up the whitewalls. Electronically, I upgraded the speakers to dual Scale Sound Systems 28mm x 15mm giving it the bass and clarity, as well as cleaning up the wiring a smidge. The whistle is a custom using the DLW 5 Chime as a base and simply raising the high and low speeds to 135 to make it sound like a Ps4 3 Chime. Only thing left to do is build a tool box to go where the doghouse would've sat. During 610's tenure on AFT and SOU, she never wore the doghouse. It's not high on the to do list, but eventually it'll get done. For now I'm gonna enjoy this model.
