For the Virginian rectifier you would need a AC Commander & EP-5/GG-1 RailSounds kit if you wanted sounds.
Which Hudson?
| 6-18056 | New York Central TMCC 4-6-4 J-1e Hudson #5344 (763E) |
| 6-28062 | Lionel Lines Gold-plated 700E J-1E 4-6-4 Hudson #1900 w/case | ||
The first one doesn't have a part listing, so someone would have to look inside. The gold one looks like its already TMCC.
If you haven't done upgrades before its best to find someone in your neck of the woods to perform the upgrade for you. If the rail sounds is older than RS4 then you'd probably have to upgrade the Rail Sounds to work with the TMCC correctly. The EP-5 is fairly straight forward but could still be a challenger for a beginner. The Hudson could be a challenge no mater what. Space for electronics could be a issue.
On smoke units it depends on the electronics running the engine as to what type of smoke unit is best to add. Again this can be challenging and it probably needs to go to someone who has a selection of smoke units that might help to best fit from the physical mounting point. Can require drilling holes, creating custom gaskets, etc.
