Alex,
From the video you sent of my 3rd Rail PRR H6 2-8-0 you upgraded, it looks like you did a fantastic job installing the SCII in it. Can’t wait to pick it up at York.

The 3rd Rail one should be easier, the electronics is all in the tender! The Lionel one above had the motherboard, R2LC, and the Odyssey driver board already crammed in there!
John,
Your engine is a H9, while the one Alex did for me was a H6. The H6 was a smaller engine in real life, and 3rd Rail's H6 is definitely smaller than their H9/10. I assumed the H6 would have also been a hard one to get everything I wanted in it (the works). Alex had to wait until your SCII was available to get it all to work. Bottom line is your SCII is a great product and allows upgrades to engines that previously could not get "the works".
