Alex,
I noticed you just posted your Lionel CCII Niagara locomotive over on the for-sale forum, and you've done an absolutely fabulous job with all the upgrades! Such talent!!!
Question I have is this... You installed John's super chuff board, but I also see you upgraded the smoke unit as well as increased chuffs from 2 to 4 per revolution. So what exactly did the super chuff board alone do for you? In other words, if you had only installed the super-chuff board, what would the visible result have been to viewers? Better smoke output? Louder chuffing sounds? Enhanced cruise control?
Many thanks!!!
David
P.S. This has always been one of my favorite steam engines from years ago, so I might be calling you to perform some of your magic on it (if you have a few spare cycles).
