That looks so cool! One question though: How did you get it to "puff" as opposed to sending a steady stream of smoke through the funnel? Are your smoke units still Seuth or are they now a different make?
It's the old R051S Hornby 'with smoke' loco. It has a mechanism which gives the puff effect. You can see it on the vid at the very start where the body is off. The orange cog drives a small cylinder that provides the 'puff'.
Thanks NG. I think it would be a lot more difficult but not impossible. I know I have seen a site on the web which shows how someone used a Seuthe smoke unit and built a 'fan and shroud' mechanism that pushed the fumes out just like a diesel but didn't keep the link (sorry!). Have a google to see if you can find it.
Hi,i want to have a go at this myself. Did you mean a 0.6 ohm or 0.6 watt resistor?

Thanks Brandon. Very easy to do. You've just gotta find an old loco on E-bay.
