Another thing, can the head light be changed very readily, to "LED", and do you sell them as well?...................Thanks in advance........................... Brandy
No reason I can think of that it couldn't be used. It would install in the locomotive. The LED's are standard LED's, I can certainly get all you need.

You recently fixed the smoke unit.

Right Bob. I see a lot of engines, so it's hard to keep track of which specific ones I've seen. It should work fine in that one.

I'll be needing a few of these also.
I'll be ready in a few weeks at most to supply all you need.

It's all about cost.
It's a totally new board, but it works in conjunction with the existing TMCC electronics, it does not replace any of it.

I'll have to watch closely tomorrow to make sure I'm not imagining things, but the smoke from the fire is constantly "flowing" out of the stack, the exhaust steam from the cylinders just puffs through it (creating a draft through the fire at the same time).
If you're simulating a clean fire with just the exhaust steam then it looks like you have it covered
I can't run the motor slow enough to really simulate that effectively, and I'd also probably have to have control of the heater to do it properly. Maybe in another version. FWIW, the fan kinda' does that by default, it doesn't stop instantly, so it coasts to a stop.
