GN Z-1 electrics; decoder final install/assembly.

Had to re-align the narrow contacts to the insulated sides of the drivers. That and installing all the bearings with springs back into the side frames while being on the ends of each axle.  Final, was connected the headlight and cab light to the decoder. 

These two electrics are labeled 2007/2006 and will run as a pair so both were given #2007.  The orange/gray wires were switched on #2006 so it runs backwards and the yellow wire (tender) was connected to the headlight so each has it's own headlight coming on when it is the lead engine.

Parked next to the Y-1 at Skykomish for pulling trains though the 8 mile cascade tunnel.
