Next up for this LionMaster 3983 is to do the same @gunrunnerjohn SuperChuffer mod as Rod and get rid of my reed switches.
Now that's pretty impressive, and way better than the original effort. Thanks for posting. Question: how did you decide where to drill the new smoke outlet hole in the PCB? Did you have a pattern? It looks to me like a difference of only about 1mm forward or backward would cause trouble getting the new funnel to align with the shell stack outlets.
Also I see that hole is very close to the near side pcb trace, as you said, but that should be no big deal since it's a grounded trace anyway. Note that the Super Chuffer is a great mod, but uses the OEM cherry switch to generate chuffs and puffs; so only 2 chuffs per rev like all TMCC stuff. If you want 4 chuffs per rev you will also need the Chuff Generator I believe.
