In Lima Locomotive E 656 - improvements

Material presented in here, locomotive has undergone changes to improve the model.
1. I added collection system voltages on two wheels, the tires without adhesion, the bogie tractor. I made slide collection of guitar chord number 1 in thickness, fixed to the bogie engine as shown in the gallery.
2. I added blood collection system and the bogie in the middle, using the remaining blades of American boghiele Mehano used to trams. Slides were mounted with hot solder as shown in the gallery.
3. I mounted lighting system based on warm white LEDs. After all these years I've been lighting enthusiasts locomotives of various types, after I went through hundreds of locomotives hand, after I looked at various forums on the phenomenon of light locomotives, we came to some conclusions:
A red light is just a fad to locomotives and locomotive is not justified unless that is designed to run no trains;
B. The white / white depending on direction of travel is best suited for running locomotives with trains;
c. is rather embarrassing fact that Analog seal off the lights go out at the signal ...
With regard to point C, I thought and changed his mind many variants of solving the problem. In all these years I did many tests on the ideas we had. Most unsatisfactory and as such we have not published my studies in the field. But even with this engine I could put my plan. Today is the ONLY Analog locomotives that can be stopped at traffic lights and which lights should not be left. The whole system is designed without the involvement of electronics! Designed system is able to provide me the stop lights on a non-powered section in analog, and the effect is the same as in digital locomotive standing still At the traffic light and lights are on! As long as lines are supplied with electricity, lights are lit! So, I solved a problem that runs in ANALOG locomotives!
For fitting we used lamps propiuzisa the point LED, white / hot, 1.8 mm lens diameter, mounted in parallel, as in analog to burn brightly even at the lowest speed. Previously, we cut the material transparent glass body so to speak, which were attached and prisms (guides) of light that enters their dwellings. Then we remove the central guide to the lighthouse, leaving it blank for light. LED central headlight was slightly polished and rounded on one side to join the ceiling recess. Parties around the headlights were painted with black acrylic matte that generated by the LED light will not pierce through the body.
All three LEDs for a management position, are mounted in parallel and then in series with a resistor of 1 kohm and mounted in anti-parallel between the two management positions, so to change the direction of travel, to ignite different for each post driving out the direction of travel. By fitting in antiparallel ensure current and residual polarization reverse takeover. I resistor assembly with appropriate even in the middle, the interior of the bellows joint slots locomotive.
The complete removal of the drive system, I found using an engine made in China, with port-metallic brushes, as cheap Chinese toys. I just replaced the engine cover, with one having port-based brushes coal, which both improved the car's noise factor, and the life of the toy in intense turnover regime.
Finally, you just have to admit that I was inspired to change the toys, failed to implement a lighting system that you bake for a long time, and now I want to apply it to other PanArin locomotive depot, specialized depot only in analog locomotive!
