Well it has been a long while since I gave an update on the engine. It has come a long way since I last showed it. I have also learned some stuff about the BEMC setup along the way. The locomotive is now for the most part complete. It has all the electronics installed, smoke unit installed with 3D printed funnel and a 3D printed whistle steam elbow. Cosmetically it has the Lionel markers as I showed before, a new coal load added, and I blackened the drivers for a more accurate look. I love how this has come out. I have some pictures and a video below. The 44:1 makes it run so smoothly and at nice slow speeds. I can of course crank up the speeds and have it go faster. Sound wise the fat boy does its job with a ton of bass and echo. Finally the smoke unit is fantastic and works well for the stack and whistle. Overall its outstanding and IMO one of the best 611's out there. Tell me what you think and enjoy the video.
