Thanks guys.
PRR – The real ones probably never smoked while they were painted Cornell Red. Lehigh Valley only had them for about 4 years so there probably wasn’t enough time to be poorly maintained. But I like smoke. Too bad I only have it in one of my Alcos.
G – Think I like option 2. Since it’s a PS3 engine and I have a PS2 smoke unit, looks like the only parts I need will be a tether and a few connections. The GP9 smoke unit is about 1/16” too high for the GP38, but other than that it fits perfectly. I may try to grind the legs down a bit.
More questions:
1. I’m thinking about putting a speaker in the dummy as well. Will the board in the PS3 powered unit run an extra speaker?
2. Does MTH make different size brass funnels for the top of the smoke unit? (so I don’t need to grind down the smoke unit legs)
