@trumpettrain posted:Today I ran two postwar locomotives built in 1947 ... a 1666 and 2025. Both are steam locomotives by Lionel. These engines haven't been run for a year, perhaps longer, so I wanted make sure to give them some run time so their motors didn't seize up. I'm happy to report that both ran fine! Since I had a liquid smoke unit installed in the 2025, it really pours out the smoke! I also ran a Williams 4-8-4 which is in B&O livery ... somewhat modeled after the B&O Cincinnattian, however, the prototype Cincinnatian was a Pacific type locomotive.
On Wednesday night I ran my Williams brass scale Camelback. This was the first run since it had new board and smoke Suethe unit installed. WOW! The new Suethe smoke unit really has great smoke output! As many of you already know, Williams smoke units are notorious for anemic smoke output. I am thrilled with the new smoke unit.
Patrick, I also make a point of running all my engines at least once per year to keep them in good working order.
