I recently purchased a MTH 1996 NYC Hudson J-1e 4-6-4 Model # 20-3020LP which had been part of the MTH vs. Lionel lawsuit as the box is labeled Plaintiff's Exhibit 22D. The Box also has a piece of tape on one end indicating it was a Production Sample from October 1996. It came with one broken tender cast step, and is missing any kind of switch on the bottom of the tender to shut off the sounds. The bell works, and the chuffing, but I am using an old Lionel TW transformer to do my testing. I have it set up on 'O' scale roller bearing testing modules, and the loco runs in reverse so far. I can't figure out how to make the direction reverse with this old transformer. I seek a copy of the:
NEW YORK CENTRAL J-1e Hudson Steam Engine Operating Instructions (for 2 and 3 rail models
Does anyone have a copy they can either duplicate and mail me the pamphlet, or can tell me where to find it online? My search online thus far has not been successful. Lots of strange stuff coming on the market with the liquidation of the MTH Factory Warehouse inventory. Thanks in advance for any help the brain trust can lend. I can share an Email address if that would be easier for a donor. Thanks again.
