Going thru my storage closet today and came across a Weaver RS-3 engine that I bought a few years ago because I liked that it was the CNJ red "coast guard" scheme and at that time (and even now) I couldn't find either the K Line or MTH version of this engine. So my question is whether it will be compatible with my Lionel tubular track and switches. I know that I could just try it, but it is so new that the handrails haven't been put yet. And if the general opinion of forumites is that it won't really work well, then I'll just sell it (and the dummy). As I said, these are older and the boxes say "stock #" 5521 and 5521-0. I believe that the engine is the "chain drive" that I see mentioned occasionally on the forum. So, back to the original question: Will the engine work without incident on tubular track or do I post them on the "Buy/Sell" forum?
