I have a conventional lionel steamer with fan smoke unit that uses a 5V Regulator pcb for the Fan. The inot has a infrard harness with railsounds lite in the tender. I assume I can repurpose during the upgrade. 1) I wonder If i can retain the infrared between the engine and tender. 2) Will I need a super chiffer in this confifuration?
It depends on what you are happy with as far as smoke operation. If continuous smoke anytime the smoke is enabled is fine, you can stick with the current setup for smoke.
As for the IR drawbar, that really depends if you can stick the cruise board in the locomotive. If it's in the tender, obviously the IR link won't do the trick.
It helps if you're specific as to the exact model we're talking about here.
