Wow. That is what I like to see. Sorts out the crap from the good locos/decoders.So hard to get a loco that will crawl like that.I always knew that BLI locos have a good drive, but they just need a good decoder to bring out their true performance.Nice job, thankyou. Michael NZ
The burned wiring seems to be a common issue with BLI locomotives. I ended up doing a decoder buddy, econami, replacement install on a BLI Paragon II Mikado due to burned wiring 6 wires total, blew the board and speakers.
I have a BLI 4-12-2 (The Curve Straightener) that has developed some issues. Pretty sure the decoder has gone south. Gonna have to fix that one'a these days, as old Pa Kettle used to say.
I have a request if possible. A ho scale walthers sw1 sound decoder install. The original run without dcc. I have one, open it up said no way . Thank you for any help with it....
Enjoyed!!! Thanks for sharing! The SSS speakers really made a difference!
Thanks Nick.

I always enjoy your video's. Helped me out many times and give me the confidence to make changes in my locos.

Dave Ross?, Love the videos!
Thank you
@@SoloContracting is this Dave Ross from the old Bayou Steel, Tenn.?, I used to work for you in maintenance. Oh Hey, Please show us your test tracks
Why using a mini Decoder Buddy on the=is unit? It looks that a standar unit would fit.
Very informative. Do you use alcohol to clean the flux off of the contacts? Thanks for posting.
Yes.
@@SoloContracting Thanks
Isn't odd to have SD-40 set running backward?
How difficult would it be to remove the cab figures from one of these BLI locomotives?
Not hard. Just remove the shell. The figures are mounted with little posts to the cab.
any chance you could poat those Xuron plier number? closest i could find mayne they are 496? Always great videos, thanks for what you do.

Where did you buy your tester, please.
This is a similar pair. LCR Research Elite2 - 10KHz LCR Meter with 0.2% Accuracy / ESR Meter / Smart SMD Tweezers a.co/d/0yh5lFS
@@SoloContracting Thank you for the feedback
@@SoloContracting Thanks. I look at it, but it is a bit more than what I can spend right now. I will put it on my list of important tools to get.
