@Lou1985: Thanks for the info. I'm actually going to move a good PS2 3V board from a Railking E9 into the tender of this loco. I'll need to learn how to install the sound file, unfortunately I have no TIU so I might need to see if I can meet up with someone in the Cincy area has one that I could either borrow or have them do it for me. My original plan was to use a PS1 board, but since it actually came with all the PS2 fixins that I wasn't expecting (including the smoke unit), then I figured I might as well put the PS1 in the E9 Railking loco and use all the lights and smoke with a PS2 board.
The tether and tether board are in the parts bag. I'm assuming the Mux is the board that receives the tether that mounts in the rear of the engine? So yes, I have that as well.
@harmonyards: I'll see if Midge can track anything down, although she didn't seem real optimistic for the worm shaft assemblies. If you have any on hand, I'm ready to make a deal. I can probably find a motor on the Bay or somewhere too, unless you have one good to go.
Thanks for your help, guys. Going to get this thing going lickety split.
