@SteveH Thanks for the info on the transformer connection! I have a 1044 I'm planning on using. Not sure about when I pick up a new engine as I've read that the older transformers don't have adequate circuit protection. I've been told yes and no.

@ADCX Rob ah. 1971. And still working! Thanks for confirming the date of my set.

VC,

I didn't know about the foam replacement that was mentioned. The local shop didn't say anything about it. They just oiled it up a bit and let it run. So yours has the built in horn? Mine doesn't have that. I had the separate horn tower/button. Like you I was amazed everything worked. Had it smoking also. I don't even think I ran it as a kid much with the smoke as we didn't replace it when it ran out. Really looking forward to getting this running again along with my Spirit of '76 Engine.
