[@cloverdalerail1093]

Great video, well laid out, good detail, if you could, do a KATO SD40-2

[@MrWallnerfe]

Great video! Very helpful indeed! I'm getting ready to do the same with several Athearn Genesis SD70Ace locomotives. I'm wondering where you purchased the #402 & 603 leds. Thank you again for you video. Fred

[@csxbaltimoresubdivision7746]

Great video, you should try microcrystal clear it works great and it dries clear

[@TolgaEastCoast]

Did you need to use resistors, or did the Loksound decoder come with it?

[@Traincraft101]

Where did you buy the quick disconnect pins?

[@suleymanwilson8919]

Do you do any type of custom work? I have five locos that need all of the lights replaced with LED’s.

[@ZaneTekaucic]

Where did you get the fiber optic strands? I have a couple Athearn models I need it for.

[@DBRXCustomRailroadModels]

Plastruct makes them. 1.5mm/0.06in diameter

[@christall109]

Don’t you need to wire the leds with additional LEDs? The EE in me says not to wire LEDs in parallel with a resistor

[@michaelfairburn5119]

Impressive! I am working on an SD75 right now. This procedure should work with a SoundTraxx Econami board the same correct? I noticed no resistors for the LED's?

[@DBRXCustomRailroadModels]

Use of resistors differ with each decoder model

[@suleymanwilson8919]

DBRX Drunk Bee Model Railroad do you do any custom work? I have five licks that need all of the lights replaced.

[@DBRXCustomRailroadModels]

Sure send me a message on Facebook or email address on my channel page

[@eXtremeFX2010]

Hi Very Nice Video... Can you tell us where you order those tiny Quick Pin Disconnects? I am unable to locate the exact same on Amazon. Thanks

[@elifalls356]

Where did you get this DCC Decoder at?

[@engineerhall5887]

Which iPhone speaker did you use

[@DBRXCustomRailroadModels]

4S

[@joenewstead4848]

where do you get you mini plug connectors from?

[@DBRXCustomRailroadModels]

Ebay - Search '2.54mm headers'

[@joseurena9603]

Anyone know a website that sells these I don’t want to do it my self

[@louismaryjane]

Up100

[@Fxe4014]

Your video is well explained, only that it must be translated into more languages ​​including Spanish, because being honest my English is not good and I need to change the decoder of a locomotive

[@ethanslape8889]

do you do customer work? I tried looking you up on Facebook but I guess your name is changed

[@DBRXCustomRailroadModels]

Yes, email me at db.model.railroad(at)gmail.com
