I think you should give your locomotive all you got. Marker lights front and rear. Directional lighting front and rear. Puff and chuff with bell, whistle and announcments. Your engine has the potential of being an awesome piece of work and you have the engineering skill to do it. Thnak you for sharing.
I usually do but I am dying to get it done too. Each tricket adds more time in the round house but It would be much cooler. I broke/wore out my mini Pin Vice so i need a new one. Those tiny holes require real careful drilling.
It’s looking really cool! Yes it needs marker lights. My Royal Blue would look so cool with your additions. And the Blowing smoke. I need to rebuild my smoke unit. The old AF unit died on me. I would love to keep the tmcc in it. I would also like to design a rear Platform for the last passenger car. With the look of a heavyweight passenger car. Rear marker lights and the big light on the end. Can’t remember the name.
When you start milling the aluminum block, Are you going to make the armature flat or angled like the old chassis? I don’t know the clearance for the trailing truck but it would machine much easier. I always wondered why Flyer angled the motor. The Mounts have a bad reputation for breaking. I guess if you machined an adapter piece and mounted that separately you could keep the angle and being out of aluminum it would solve the old mounting problems. I’ve been thinking about this for years. Keep Moving Forward. It looks Great.
I have studied the design briefly several times and see why the angle helps the overall layout but agree its a little nuance we could be better without. Time will tell.
I would like to recommend you print yourself a camera/phone mount since you have the ability. The view bouncing all over the place in and out makes the video really difficult to watch. A static view with you using a small pointer or even just your finger on what you are talking about would be easier on us the viewer. Very interesting stuff, just difficult to watch.
@@OmegaGamingNetwork you. Sincere apologies I will make k e a point to set up better. I get wound up and in a hurry then I forget to aim the camera. I will do better.

Thanks i will get some tiny green leds and a pin vise to precisley drill the holes out.
Think marker lights would be good
Yeah I think so;

@@DennisMurphey No apologies necessary man, I was just making a suggestion is all.
