Anybody who wants to Duplex or Articulate Marx PW steam is my kind of guy. Go for it.

The Marx e-unit or a new electronic one will both do; say, why not an ERR AC Commander while you're at it...?

Pictures, eventually, I hope.

(I built a "666" Pacific using 2 spliced/extended PW 666 boiler shells and a modern "K-Marx" 333 4-6-2 chassis; old outside; modern underneath.)  

I got the two chasses, coupled, and to run together, forward!,  with schematic,as l removed reverse unit from second chassis, but don't want to disassemble chassis with reverse unit to identify wiring l need to lengthen to provide reverse for second unit. All motor wires disappear between motor and reverse unit.  Schematic is not clear for identifying reverse unit to motor wiring.  Due to height of motors, it will be interesting cramming them under a boiler so they will turn with the track. That is next problem....

Sadly, not yet working,  as l wandered off to build a "printed" McKeen car "kit" , hurriedly, that is being more carefully rebuilt.  What radius curves does that 2-4-4-4-4-2 run on?

John Lebaron has some youtube videos of some Marx E7 AA unit customizations he did with two powered A units both running of a single e-Unit. I am not sure how he wired it.
