NW-Modeling-List Digest, Vol 89, Issue 22

[NW Modeling List]

Hi,

Actually I have a BLI one that is DC, does anyone have any experience
converting it to DCC. Namely I have the one with only one light board. Has
anyone just said what the heck and rebuilt the inside with their own LEDs?
Basically, does anyone have exerience making the lights respond to a DCC
decoder?

I just got my BLI one, and it is a very good item.

Thanks

David
