Dominic, that is the one and only I-5 Hudson. Good comment. Always fun to throw in a bit of humor. This engine was the last run Weaver with all the toys. It had a fan driven smoke unit (single element) that I converted to a dual element unit. The engine has sprung drivers and tender pickups. These were used before for the sound in the tender. I coupled these with the engine rollers and power loss will never happen. This is my only brass engine and the only way I could get an I-5. This was not an easy conversion dealing with the 10 pin connector. I am doing one for Gerry Morlitz as soon as the kits are back in stock.
