After I purchased this engine, I had to have an operating matching Legacy auxiliary tender. The project began by purchasing a MTH GS type auxiliary tender. After receiving it I did some creative machining on the trucks by adding Lionel pick up rollers and ground strips. The electronics came out of a FB-2 Non-Powered unit that I bought for a song. It had directional lighting, a rear electrocoupler, and even a smoke unit. Below are some photos of the truck detail. Thanks to Chuck (cjack) for insulating the tender frame from the shell with some creative tape and plastic screws. (He also cleaned up the inside wiring like a professional does 😎) The icing on the cake for this project was the talented artistic abilities of Christine Braden who came highly recommended by forum members and I strongly join that recommendation after this project that she completed for me. She hit this one out of the park!!! There’s also a video of the finished project. Enjoy!
