@Norm Charbonneau, @gunrunnerjohn, @Norton. Thank you for the information. I have tested the speaker and it is an 8ohm speaker. So it looks like the replacement Fatboy speaker I ordered from 3rd rail should work. Just a matter making it fit! The original speaker was actually placed facing upwards towards the coal load. I might try to change that.
This model did come with TAS fan operated smoke unit (see photo). I am currently working to try and get access to the tac reader but if the smoke unit was TAS I think it is safe to say the tac reader is as well. The most important goal for this project is to make sure I can keep the 4 chuffs per revolution.
I have been debating as to weather or not I want to have a smoke unit in this engine. This may be not be true, but I was always told that 3rd rail engines don’t like smoke fluid. Something about ruining the paint or finish. But just like norm I don’t run the smoke units that often. So I might just leave it out. Still debating that part.
Once again thank you for all the help!
