Notes:

Streamlined K4 (Brunswick Green).

Bill modified his engine by removing the smoke unit to be able to use a TSC decoder and Soundtraxx Current Keeper, as well as a RailMaster DLG8 speaker. He replaced the tender wheels with code 110 NWSL wheels, because he found the original wheels to cause a short (a no-no for DCC).

Running the engine, which has been converted to DCC.
