John, like I said I put time on it and so did Matt after I sold it to him. I recently used the same configuration doing an upgrade to my Weaver I-5 Hudson. The engine had the TAS package and I needed to convert it to all MTH. The Weaver smoke chamber was very small and it was a shoe horn fit to keep the resistors from kissing the side wall of the unit. Of course this was an MTH board feeding it. Give the Lionel a shot you should have the same luck I did.
