Picked Up A Light Box For Model Photos

I ordered this light box from Amazon for taking pics of models.  Seems to work very nicely.

Amazon's description seems to include a number of aliases: Finnhomy Professional Portable Studio Photo Light Studio Tent, Light Box, Table Top Photography Shooting Tent Box, Lighting Kit, 16" x 16" Cube

My First Power On Board (POB) Project

I'm starting a new project: Modify an old SW1500 to use POB (aka Dead Rail). I'm going to try to use a Stanton self-powering truck to replace the original motor assembly. I hope this will create enough room to then add an over-the-air DCC and sound, along with batteries and a recharging circuit. I am expecting to not have enough room, but we'll see. For inspiration and guidance I'll be using a couple of posts from the Small Urban Rails website.

I'll be documenting the progress for this project in SW1500 Switcher With Power On Board (POB).
