Arnold SW1

What's everyone's take on the SW1's. I think they look great from these preproduction photos. Can't wait to see in real life. Picture is from Arnold Facebook page.

Tortoise Mounting and Testing!

I had a productive weekend installing tortoise machines. It is amazing how easy it was with the 2 way adjustable mounting plates. They are printed by my new friend Rodney. They were well work the price and the screws are included. There is a thread on The Railwire if any one is interested or let me know and I can get you his contact info.

Spent the night hooking up JMRI Decoder Pro through a Loco Buffer USB. Easy setup and nice to see all CV's easily.
