I'm sure hoping for that! I just tested the motor and it worked fine. There's a lot of damage from shipping to different parts on the engine. The front pilot is smashed a bit with the coupler pushed up and in. The rear of the tender has a corner bent and some other stuff. I bought it as is, damaged.
It seems like the front pilot is missing something. I thought it was bent as the rear wheels of the front pilot don't touch the track. It seems more like some type of spacer is missing to lower the whole assembly downward. The mounting screw is quite long. I think I'll be monkeying around with this one for a hobby!
I opened up the tender and was surprised at some type of large control board inside. I think it looks like it has some capabilities that I hadn't expected. No sound though. Some type of switch on the tender bottom that I haven't established it's purpose for? There's another small regulator board just for the rear markers that has a diode (to make it work in one direction only?). Maybe this came from the factory this way after all?? They are two rail flanges though?
