Actually, I'll get no puffs out of the unit because the **** voltage regulator burned out on that loco too. Since it's a puffer unit, I might just try giving the smoke unit track power with a rectification diode and current limiting resistor. But as for chuffs, I might see if there's room for a bar on the other siderod that could give me 2 chuffs and puffs. Otherwise, a cam on a non-driving wheel it is! Since the drivers are so large, I might aim for a 4-lobe cam. There's already a reed switch for chuffs, I'd just have to relocate it.

It originally had four nubs on it for 4-chuffs/rev. Cutting two off gives you a better range of speeds before the sounds go south.
Sounds with 2 arms is okay at slow switching speeds, but the smoke is still basically continuous. Hence why I am considering going to one arm on the cam. But don't get me wrong, they did a great job on the 0-6-0, cramming a lot of stuff into a pre-existing small body. And I paid only about $25 more for it than I would for one of Lionel's "new" 64' woodsided passenger cars
