    Hi Doug • Excellent video about LED Lighting Boards from Gun Runner John.
    He is the OGR Forums, Top Dog for all electrical issues. Along with your skills & information on Kadee Couplers. Well done.
    • Cheers from the Detroit & Mackinac Railway.

    Great video and explanation Doug. You are my hero when it comes to Kadee coupler conversions!

      No Job I need to do an MTH and a Lionel caboose because they are a PITA for Kadees

      You got that right! I have cabooses from both makers that I need to convert but I'm scared to try. Looking forward to your video!

    Laidoffsick, I'm kinda new to the model railroading scene, I'm on OGR Forum and I heard you were the master of everything electric when it comes to lionel. I need your help. I'm probably gonna post a topic on OGR regarding it. My Lionel Union Pacific Heritage SD 70ACE number 1988 has some wierd issue with the sound. I don't know why it always had the problem and I don't know why nobody can seem to fix it. I'll do a video on it in the future cause it's a bit hard to explain. It sounds like the engine got hit with an EMP. Thanks!

    Will those couplers swivel around a curve?

    • @Laidoffsick
      @Laidoffsick  6 років тому

      They are body mounted, NOT truck mounted. There is no swivel. Do they go around curves, YES. I don't have any curves smaller than 072 but they will take 054 just fine. Toy train curves like 031 or 036, absolutely NOT

    Put frosted scotch tape over the windows to give a soft glow without seeing all the guts inside. Bob

    It looks the same

    • @Laidoffsick
      @Laidoffsick  6 років тому

      No actually in person it looks very different. It also draws much less current, and the light is now dimmable, so I can turn it way down.
