What creative functions have you enabled?

I am curious to learn about the creative functions (servos, lights, etc.) people have enabled in their locos and rolling stock using Massoth decoders. I know the decoders offer many outputs and options for enabling creative functions-- anyone care to share some of the unusual and useful things they have enabled? Photos would be great as well if you have them. Thanks!

I'm not sure this qualifies as 'creative' use, but here is a picture of a RhB signal light I made using an 8FL decoder to run all the LED's. I control the light combinations with my Navigator.

P.S. sorry for the glare...not a great picture I'm afraid!

Hello all,

I thought I would show a few pictures of my latest project: I used an 8FL to control a servo, which opens/closes the gate on my LGB RhB hopper car. I will use it for ballasting track and transferring gravel using my conveyor system. I built the voltage reducer circuit shown in the 8FL manual, which you see see with the 8FL.









Here is a video showing it in a test trial:

Power pickup is by LGB ball bearing wheelsets.
