Purchased and waiting it to arrive a RailKing Commodore Vanderbilt 4-6-4 Hudson with Proto 2.0.
This is the first of the newer type electronic trains that I have ever purchased.
I have been with Prewar O and Standard gauge and I like this era a lot.
Plus the price this Hudson was very reasonable and could not pass it up.
Already down loaded the manual.
Looking to run in conventional mode. My transformers are all post war so for those to work, I would have to add a bell switch (Lionel #6-5906 whistle or bell controller).
My other option is to pick up a used MTH-Z-1000 or Z-750 or Z-500. I do not know what would be the best for this engine or if they will operate my Prewar O gauge trains. Do not want to spend a lot.
Any Suggestions?
Will also pick up a new battery and a separate wall mount charger for the battery. read that a old battery could be a problem.
Any input would help
