I recently picked up (still waiting on delivery ) of a 2005 Conrail employee safety award train. From what I can tell, it was a late K-Line unit in a Lionel box. I don’t know much about these engines in regards to the lighting and such. Does anyone know what kind of light are in these engines? LED or incandescent? Do they have ditch and ground lights?
My plan is to transplant the guts from an early Legacy (6-28345) into this diesel. I am eager to get this project started and plan post my progress.
The Legacy setup I have is the modular setup. It the one where the RS power supply, RS6 board, and R4LC all sit on top of it. I am hoping I can get away with just buying a flywheel and ring from the same Legacy engine and mount it along with the encoder on the existing motor.
If anyone has done this, or has any advice I am all ears.
Attached is a picture of a similar set.
