Hello everyone,
I've seen this once before and i decided to construction a few. Let me give you some details, It's constructed with all 1/4 Masonite
and 1x2 pine ripped down to 3/4 by 3/4. I installed a Lionel 27 ohm smoke unit underneath, for the smoke effect. I left the smoke unit stock
because it has the perfect smoke output for this type of scene. I also installed 3 flickering LEDS for the fire affect. When complete the engine will
trigger the smoke and flickering effect, the engine wheels will complete the circuit. If you want to see it live, it will be at the NJHi-RAILERS Trainstock show.
This is such an eye catching scene, and brings a lot of action, interest, and realism to a layout. It will be able to be bolted right up under
a layout when it's complete. The smoke unit can be easily serviced if and when necessary, smoke fluid can be simply added from inside the ash pit .
You can also control the amount of smoke output by simply adjusting the voltage. There's still more to do on this ash pit, again see the completed unit at the NJHi-Railers Trainstock show.
Thanks for looking, enjoy,
Alex
