Most convincing I say!

How does it look from the cab? That's also important.

The oscillating is not perfectly on time with the music.

I blame you for this Chacal. Now we will have musical engines with pulsating lights. Pray that Mr Cowen doesn't get into the Disco era.

Well, we can still do with a few animated Strobe lights and Xenon flashers, can't we?

Only no glitterballs! !*YAAA*!

Perhaps a purple light strip under the loco?

The red light no longer oscillates and overrides the mars light. The video shows an emergency brake application. I have also modified the light beams.
The emergency light is also independently switchable.

Looks very nice, will it be available for the E and F series locos?

It didn't sound so nice to begin with... the restoration crew hooked it to the Superheater to begin with, and the dry steam made it sound shrill. Once it was done with the Freedom Train tour, they spent the time to reconnect it to wetted steam and it sounds much more mellow. BTW, I live across the river from Portland, OR and I get to see it running once in a while.

I'm sorry the ATSF F7s are specials, (The models and texture mapping are NOT standard) therefore not part of the re-skinning sets. That is not to say that they can't be repainted and the skins redistributed like the payware parts of the reskinning kits. As long as the shape files are not redistributed that is fine. In other words the end user MUST purchase the ATSF passenger set before he/she can use the repaint.
!!**sorry**!!
