Hornby King class 4-6-0 with smoke

Sorry about the quality, I didn't use a tripod so it's a bit shaky.
A simple conversion this one(unlike Dave) due to the tender drive and a metal chassis. I fitted a resistor to the motor which slowed it down but still allowed full power to the smoke unit - so lots of smoke!
Enjoy :-)

hi there love the smoke unit. i hav a hornby tender drive GWR 2800 fitted with a smoke unit. but how and where do u fit this resistor to allow full power to the smoke unit??

@tich4472 I'll send a message to you with the details.

whats the difference between a king class and a castle class

@matanuialive2010

Best answer to that is for you to search Wiki. It'll give a fuller answer than I can on here...

Thats a great idea - which resistor did you use and how did you do it?

[Tomlan2007]

@waldenhouse

Thanks. It's 0.6 ohm resistor and simply wired into one of the motor leads. It gets warm when running so make sure there's enough air space around it.

That's an insane amount of smoke! The most realistic i've ever seen.So whats the setup here? A Seuthe 100 with a 0.6ohm resistor on the positive lead from the motor? Have you had problems with melted chimneys?

[MrFlix76]

thats looks so goood

[Tomlan2007]

It's a Seuthe No 100 unit.
