So here it is...
Modified 610-8057-200 Smoke unit. The 5v circuit was unnecessary, and space was required, so it was cut off. I used a modified Lionel bracket for the #68 E-6 to mount the smoke unit. I tweaked it per the suggestions of many; drilled out the intake hole, installed a 20 ohm resistor. A wad of white fiberglass insulation was used for batting (it has worked well for me in the past) on "puffer" repairs) The smoke funnel is a 3/16" brass compression sleeve, with the PC board reamed to match.
I had to fashion a new bracket for an LED headlamp. I added LED marker lamps.
For operational improvements, a Cruise Commander M upgrade from the Electric Railroad Company was installed.
For the real special effects, a Chuff-Generator and Supper-Chuffer from John Will & Associates was installed.
And then I squeezed all 10 pounds back into the 5 pound bag and here it is.
I could not be more satisfied. Many thanks to John and Ken for their product support.
I will be replacing the bulbs with LED's in the tender, use Neolube to tone down the the handrails, driver rims and rods, add engineer and fireman figures, and then call it done.
Then on to the next one.
