Here are the photos of the conversion. The first two photos are a Bridge rectifier and other parts. Brendan usually does smaller conversions with the 2200 decoders. He would like to make some more modifications (better Speaker Baffle, electro coupler) down the road which I'm on board with.
He couldn't remove the smoke unit as this smoke unit was attached to the boiler shell, it's disconnected and I had no plans of running smoke on this engine at all. I like running smoke, I run the smoke for the other features like whistle steam and safety pop off which is a topic with visitors while running at local clubs. I'm not really interested in running smoke in 3rd Rail Engines. I test them when I get them to verify that they work. Then I don't run the smoke again.
