Secure the wires, resistors, and front headlight LEDs in place
with Kapton tape as shown in [58]. The LED from the front
headlight will also light up the interior of the cab. To prevent
this use a small piece of black electrical tape to cover the back
of the LED and number board casting. Glue Details West 341
light lenses in the front and rear headlight castings with a bit of
Microscale Krystal Klear. Cut the smaller rear portion off of two
additional lenses and glue the remaining front part in the ditch
light castings.
Many of my locomotives have Soundtraxx Tsunami DCC sound
decoders connected to Railmaster Hobbies DSM-8 speakers. I
used this set up in a previous Proto 2000 SD45 model I built; it
is shown in [59]. If you choose to install sound in your model,
the purple shrink-wrapped TSU-1000 Tsunami is a good fit. You
will need to cut away part of the weight to fit the speaker; the
61. Finished model front right view.
