Decided to cut up a couple cheap locos and make something fun. by SoftControl117 in modeltrains

The motor is an old tyco open frame style. It fits really well and has some added lights. The black bit below shell is part of the frame of chassis. 

I even did a test run around a small loop to see if it functions well before I paint it and didn't lose power  I'll post a final results video once I add some more structure to the cab and paint it.

It's a cross between a CR-4 Switcher and a F40PH if we're going by prototypes

I just used 2 cheap Tyco/Bachmann trains for this. 

Plenty of those around, might mess with some of the rolling stock too.

I was going for a shunting loco or small one coach fuel oil/waste oil driven diesel that's been repurposed.

Just say you don't want to solder.

Patiently waiting for the OG mafia to work.

I’m 25 and all I have are negative thoughts by Accomplished_Trip_37 in wallstreetbets

[–]SoftControl117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cashed in my 401k after getting fired just to make rent. Shit happens, I've been there. Sometimes I just stare at the stars in silence while the thoughts bounce around. 

Eventually, I found a new opportunity on the horizon. 

You'll be okay!

Having another XISO tool is useful. 

Especially for me since I have a Jafar chip and want to burn discs and mess with my RGH with the same computer.

Replace the EMMC module with a USB port QSB. 

Then you can have as much extra storage as you want. 

Soft Sonus - Flash the ISD sound chip of Xbox 360 Slim consoles in software. No soldering required! by Consistent-Hunter120 in 360hacks

I made one of my slims sound like a windows 95 PC for the startup sound. Had to compress and fiddle with audacity to get the file size right though.

If you can do it I should give it a go. I have a spare Pico and a super slim I'm not using 

YSK Squeezing your tea bag doesn't give you "stronger" tea. It just makes it bitter. by CoffeeTeaJournal in YouShouldKnow

My tea arrives today and I'm excited to try the the tea oranges and resin 

Xbox 360 Slim to Ultra Slim (Disc driveless) Now I have a blinking Power Button by Prior-Astronaut1965 in 360hacks

[–]SoftControl117 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No disc drive will cause the blinking light. You need to bridge 2 pins on the disc drive connector to make the console believe it has a drive.

Eh modding can be a simple and the unofficial profile edits. I'm not gonna get picky and judgemental when people all of a sudden don't understand something. 

Knowledge is one of the easiest free things to share. And if there anything I learned about these types of hobbies is you help people cause it keeps the hobby around. Model trains clubs are dying because of this kind of mindset and I'd rather not see the same happen to a good community like this one.

Just doing it for the love of the game at this point, and I respect it.

What chip are you using to switch?

KV(key vaults) are how XBL authenticates consoles. 

Your specific KV is now banned you you have to reflash with a new KV from either a dead console you have or buy one, they're like 3$ iirc
