@jonnyspeed posted:FWIW... The Erie K5 is my favorite steam engine, but I can't bring myself to buy a brass model from the 60s with an open frame motor when I run DCC/Sound and install smoke units in my steam. Unfortunately, I will probably never get one in O scale. Precision scale did them a couple years ago in HO scale and they were fantastic.
I think I've seen examples of your work on some of these sites: I'm betting you could swap an open frame for a can and install some sort of smoke device ...👍 🙂
