MTHPRRGURU posted:I’m curious as to how hard it would be or feasible (yes all be it at the price point you shouldn’t need to) but to install a super chuffer board and or an HO chuff & or an HO smoke unit installed in the unit. Or possibly retrofit an MTH smoke unit that was designed for a 1/48 scale 4-4-0 and make that work....just some options and like I said at the price point Lionel should have already installed this equipment, but I wonder if the above mentioned options would work.
I suspect the logic board and motor consume most of the space in the locomotive. No way of knowing until one is actually available if this stuff would fit. The MTH HO smoke unit is about 1.3" long. One issue is finding if the smoke output control from the BEMC board is active, you'll need that to control the smoke unit. Since this comes with no smoke unit, they may not have enabled those outputs.
Here's the MTH HO smoke unit.
