Challenger 3985 (one of a kind) in HO Scale.

This project has finally been completed. With hours of work dedicated to detailing, programming, saw during, installing lights, and testing, this custom challenger is my proud jewl of my collection. Originally having a broadway limited imports paragon 3 decoder, it has since been replaced with a loksoundv5 decoder, a v5 board & capacitor, 2 scale sound systems speakers one in the smoke box and one in the tender, fire box LEDs, walkway lights, custom piping and painted brass details such as the whistle, and a CUSTOM bell and whistle, taken from actual challenger footage.
This project was completed with the help of some friends, over a 1 1/2 month period. This challenger is made up of multiple bli challengers, as the number plates, boards and other lettering are from a different bli challenger, fitted onto this one so I have the choice to add or remove smoke deflectors.
