Building An HO Scale ALCO RS27 Part 2 | Sound, Lights & Weathering

This is part two of an HO Scale RS27 build which covers DCC & sound installation, lighting and weathering. This model was commissioned by a customer wanting a "Protofreelanced" model of an RS27 locomotive operated by Genesee & Wyoming's First Coast Railroad. Since FCRR does not own any RS27s, one of FCRR's GP7s was used as a reference for details such as weathering. The model has ESU LokSound and an array of lighting functions.
