@Norton posted:OK, here is the first test run of this MTH Hudson, former parts donor with a Williams tender. Motor is a 9433 Pittman, Lionel dumb fan smoke unit, 50 mm Fatboy speaker, main volume at about 50% and a Blunami 4408. AC to DC using a 5 amp switching convertor and 6 amp bridge rectifier. Added cost under 5 bucks. Amp draw according to my MTH Z4000 is under 1 amp.

Smooth running, but the chuff sound doesn't impress me.
