Hi Pat I had a question for you about my 785 Hudson. During the September 50% Off Lionel Parts sale I picked up a Gray Vision Line Backhead and Cab Rear Wall to dress up my 785 a la your backhead install on Gunrunner's Yellow Belly. Parts of the backhead were bent and of course there were no more in stock, in either gray or black. I finally worked up enough nerve to attempt to straighten these fragile pieces and luckily got them to an acceptable position without snapping them off.
My remaining question is, as I slide the backhead into the cab it comes in contact with the wire and plug that chooses weather the e-unit functions or is locked in one direction, and will not "seat" properly. The Banana plug on the black wire plugged into the socket on the fireman's side, E-unit works, if the plug is re-located to the socket on the engineer's side the e-unit is locked into one position. I was wondering if you had any ideas to get around this issue? I had e-mailed on Nov 2 at the email in your profile. I know that has been successful in the past so maybe it went to SPAM, and I am not authorized to Private Message here on the Forum. Thanks for taking a look.
