Here’s a video of my 3rd Rail Pennsylvania E-6s, now converted to Blunami. The 25 year old model came originally equipped with QSI.
I initially planned to outsource the project as I have very little upgrade / electronics experience. With Pete’s encouragement, I took the plunge and tried it myself.
I kept the install pretty simple—no smoke or electrocoupler (for now)—but I did wire the marker and class lights to dedicated FX outputs.
There’s still fine-tuning to do, but I’m really happy so far with the sound and BEMF speed control. The video shows a few sound effects, like the fireman shoveling sounds, “All aboard” and the adjustable brake squeal.
Thanks to everyone who has posted about their 3 rail Blunami installs and experiences. All the content was extremely useful as I undertook this project.
