LGB 21881 LGB Uintah Railway DCC with sound and smoke conversion

[kcchiefdawg]

Hello, I am looking for someone to upgrade my LGB 21881 (Uintah Mallet) to DCC. I want to add sound and upgrade the smoke with synchronized smoke and steam. Firebox light would be a nice addition but not required. Can anyone recommend someone that can do this work for me? I have been researching how to do it myself but I think I am a bit unprepared to take this on myself.

Thanks!

No problem. I purchased an ESU Soundlok 5 XL, Soundlok programmer, ESU dual smoke unit, Speaker, and ESU tester. I'm going to see if I can figure it out. I also picked up a used 2-4-0 loco I'm going to test it out on before opening up my Mallet.

I am in San Diego and have done many sound/battery/control installations including at least one on an LGB 21881 (Uintah Mallet). Attached is primer I wrote for anyone interested in DIY installs. Let me know if I can be of help.

Their are many places that do this work and shipping across the country on a large engine can be expensive. So, where does the original poster live as there may be someone nearby where the engine does not have to be shipped ($$ saved plus no shipping damaged if local).
