Hello everyone,
Well it took a while but I finally was able to finish doing some upgrades too my Lionel Hudson item number 6-18056.
Here's all the details !!
Replaced the mechanical smoke puffer unit with a fan driven unit.
Replaced the A/C Pullmor motor with a D/C can motor, Frank Timko supplied the D/C can motor and installed the proper shaft and mounting bracket, which made for a quick and easy bolt on installation .
Replaced the original TMCC with Electric Railroad, which I purchased from my good friend Boxcar Bill.
Also added 4 chuffs per revolution, and a front LED headlight.
You will notice I added a wired tether between the engine and tender, this is temporary. The engine wireless infrared is not working.
You also will notice the chuffs are slightly off, this will be adjusted.
I want too thank Boxcar Bill, and Frank Timko for all there help.
Thanks for looking,
Alex
