I've been searching for a copy with minimal paint flaws. This unit & tender typically has many paint pimples.
Thanks - Ponz

Ponz, check out the upgraded one on the For Sale forum.
I think he may be looking for conventional operation, mine is upgraded to really run mostly command. Without a bit of modification, the Super-Chuffer doesn't run until the track voltage gets to 9-10 volts, that may be a bit much for conventional operation.

How would or would not the following work conventionally with a refurbished ZW?

Thanks. It looks a little beyond open box from the pics. Check out where the tender wire is and is not.
Have you ever used this outfit?

I didn't look that close till you mentioned it. I see what you mean, but if you're set on gutting it does that really matter?
I have dealt with these guys before and been very happy. That said every auction is buyer beware. Also Cabin Fever is traditionally a live auction company and are now transitioning to being online based. I assume they will do just fine but every transition has growing pains.
When I revamped my 6-18006, I actually embedded the locomotive connector in the rear apron where it appears on most newer locomotives. Of course, at the time I started that task, I didn't realize there was close to an inch of solid diecast material between the back and the inside! Mr. Dremel and I had a long conversation with that shell to grind out the hole for the connector, that was a significant PITA! I've done a couple since, and I ran the tether under the cab like the old one as that was way too much work to make that hole, even though it looks great when it runs.
