Thanks Dallas.

I take hundred's of pictures so like a 'blind squirrel'; bound to find a good nut or two!

I did a 'camera' reset as I made changes and didn't know how to remove them.

=================================

CNJ 4-6-4T final assembly.

Managed to 'cram' everything into the boiler!



CNJ 4-6-4T PFM 49

The factory supplied weight inserted into the boiler.

Having all the LED wires taped to the top of the boiler allowed enough room for the weight.

With no tender only one 4-pin connector was needed for this engine.

Frame side.

Had to reverse the motor wires and then put tape over the contacts.

The trailing truck is the 'tender side' pickup for electricity.

It is insulated from the frame.

MMM: need to paint that piece of brass I made for the 'ground'!

Programming done.

Fireman's view.

Nicely detailed, especially for an engine made in 1969!

I believe PFM only made one run of these so not very many are available.

No light in the cab as no detail plus it would only show all the wires!

Engineer's view:

CNJ 4-6-4T PFM 61

Had to put the small 'sugar cube' speaker in the 'coal load' area.

Some black foam to cover the speaker.

=====================

Next will, probably, be the GN Y-1 electric.

Imported by KEY in 1995.  Two motors plus the 'bus bars' on each end of the locomotive.
