Some may have noticed that the chuff drops out intermittently on the video. I setup the Christmas board outside and ran the Hudson with both smoke off and smoke on for quite some time. In either case, the chuff never cutout even once. So, the problem is with my layout and not Pat's work. The engine is fine. Hooray! I'll post one or more videos later after they are uploaded. I'm sorry I didn't resolve this ahead of showing the video here on the forum. Great job, Pat!!!!
Also, I tried putting my passenger cars on the track, but they nee 054 curves to not bind and pull the wheels off the rails. No go on the 048 curve with an 036 section at each end to fit on a 4-foot wide board.
