John .. don't get me wrong me too .. love the sound, smoke, horn,, whistle, couplers and all .. Just a little frustrated with my Odyssey engine at the moment .. put on the new magnetic ring and that helped slightly (very slightly), but problem not yet resolved.. But the speed control at slow speeds is great compared to my other non-Odyssey TMCC engines.
Is there a gap range between the bottom of the magnetic ring and the pick up .. I don't have another Odyssey engine to compare .. I tried to look for a picture on line of the pick-up itself or if there is a gap specified .. could not find one.. any suggestions or just buy another motor/pickup assembly from Lionel?
