<p>Well. We are going to need some passenger cars for it so that a recreation of the famous race with a NYC Steam Hudson can be recreated.</p><p>I spent several happy hours today programming it. Then took it apart and lubed it. Those gear towers showed bone dry gears. Hit all the rods as well.</p><p>At first glance the valve gear looks like it got mashed but I think they work ok but will definatly keep an eye on all of those bolts.</p><p>She is a wee bit "Slippery" and there are no traction tires that I can see. So... I think the J1 might provide some helper service from time to time.</p><p>I have purchased many engines with Broadway but this is the first engine that was disassembled to be lubed (Now on to the others) and one that behaves as if impatient to take a train out. Good think it's on DCC control I cannot imagine analog for this brute.</p><p>While adjusting the volume of the bell I could pick out the clapper apparently making a bigger swing until the bell reaches it's full motion, I think that was a nice touch. The dynamo was a bit too loud, drove my cats nuts so I turned it down to a value of 10 out of 15 and it worked out well.</p><p>It's a good thing I got into those gear towers and lubed them, she probably would have failed at some point down the road being so dry.</p>
