Sounds good. I'll document my install and post up my findings!

Thanks for the help.

Hello swoyekr. I had 2 BLI ac6000 that I converted to railpro. Granted these models were big and heavy and very easy to hardwire. A few things you should know about the BLI model
(Paragon 2 &3) diesel locos. Their speakers are located in the fuel tank and get dirty very quick making them sound distorted. You will to need cleaned them once in a while so they can sound nice again. BLI models for what ever reason have alot of slack on the worm gears causing them to lurch forward going down a 2% grade with 20 to 100 cars. I had some precision scale washer that I installed and that fixed the problem. They ran extremely well after some mods, but after further thought I moved on from them. Hopefully it works out well for you.

Good luck
Orlando
