A fan driven smoke unit is clearly a major upgrade from the puffer unit. I'm in the middle of adding one to the 2-8-0 Lionel Consolidation, it'll get the full treatment, the fan driven smoke, the Super-Chuffer II , and the Chuff-Generator.

Thank you all for your guidance. I've confirmed the piston is running smooth so that's not it.

Gunrunner - I saw THIS thread from several years ago. It looks like you've been down this path before. I looked for the rectifiers you suggested, but it looks like they're not offered anymore. Additionally, my locomotive is older I think. It doesn't have any circuit boards. Photo below...

I assume technology has changed a bit since 2015 from the previous thread. If I were to upgrade, what are your suggestions?
