Reply to "1970's era Blue Comet Tender Issue"




quote:
Anyways, since you don't want to cut the inside out, maybe you should follow Ed Boyle's technique and use a postwar 2046W chassis and run it with the classic air whistle. The only other thing I can think of is try to rearrange the baords, but that is very risky and not recommended.




 

If that Blue Comet shell is made from the same mold as other early Modern era 2046W/2671W style shells, there is a plastic web dividing the inside of the shell roughly in half, along with a post or two.  They must be cut away to clear a postwar whistle assembly too.

If so, why not look for a shell to modify on Ebay? Then you can keep yours 100% original, and have the RailSounds version too.
