Reply to "Weaver PRR C-1 With TMCC & Railsounds"

BobOGR Forum Member DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER

I have two of the Weaver C1's. As delivered, they came with TMCC, an electrocoupler on the tender but not on the locomotive front (the front coupler for some reason was magnetic and thus not controlled by the Cab-1), 1 chuff per revolution and really not very good at low speed running. Since they are the only 3-rail scale model of the C1, I reworked them for switching duty.

I removed the magnetic front coupler and replaced it with the electrocoupler from the tender. I then mounted a shorter shank electrocoupler on the tender. The original stuck out pretty far and had kind of a battering ram look to it. Cruise control from Electric RR fixed the low speed running and a reed switch with 4 magnets glued to the back of a driver provided 4 chuffs per revolution. I removed the smoke unit since I don't run smoke. The modified C1's sound great, are strong pullers and will crawl along as slow as anyone would want to go.
