I want to first thank everyone again for their help and suggestions when I was dealing with the engine making a machine gun sound when I turned on the factory smoke unit. I changed it out for another fan driven smoke unit I had after soldering in a lower resistance resistor for more smoke production. I also added John's Super Chuffer and Chuff generator. The chuff Generator allowed me to add main driver light under the side panels which turn off at approximately 10 scale mph. An LED cab light was added that turns off when the engine starts to move. I also drilled out the firebox doors and added three flickering fire colored LEDs to simulate a fire. Enjoy the video.

Hi Dave, What a fantastic upgrade. I am a Weaver Fan having a NKP Berk, a New Haven  I-4 Pacific and 3 each New  Haven I-5's. Two of them have been upgraded by Pat Norcross and the others are with him awaiting completion. I think if Weaver had stayed in the business, eventually some of these upgrades would have filtered into their manufacturing.  Anyway, you did a great job and it really has been a super upgrade. I love the fire box LED's. Bill
