harmonyards posted:John, I have a lionel 6-28072 that had the old puffer smoke unit in it, I used a lioncheif fan smoke unit, I put a 27 ohm resistor in it ( the original was burnt up) I wired it to the original TMCC blue wire, and I used a MTH PS1 board to drive the fan (it was laying around) its powered directly to track power through a micro switch that is triggered from the original smoke piston lever...Its ok, but it lacks the oomph of what your super chuffers seem to do...question is, if I get a super chuffer II will that do away with my PS1 lever set up I have? I only get one chuff per rev, and getting the timing right was a real chore....thanks!...………………………..Pat
Hi,
If you want more prototypical cuffs, you would need the super chuffer II and a chuff generator which uses a tachometer strip on your flywheel instead otf the mechanical switch. He sells both and are actually designed to work together for the best results.
Hope this helps!
