Just a quick thread to show a few mods I just did on my Lionel Vision Niagara. While only two items it required a fair amount of disassembly to complete. I wanted to bin the Canon motor and get rid of the bright silver smoke box. I used a 12v 9433 Pittman to replace the Canon and its virtually a drop in replacement. Same bolt pattern and shaft size. Just had to clean up some burrs on the flywheel.
Next repaint the smokebox. I still had some Floquil graphite paint that hadn’t dried up from 30 years ago. Piping was masked off using Micro Mark liquid masker. Its actually a bit darker than what appears in the picture.
I still want to replace the rod screws with something closer to prototype as I did on my TMCC Niagara. Stay tuned.
