Hey Rexhea, as soon as you mentioned the ozone from the sparking, that wonderful smell filled my head! My first was a 3-rail Lionel steamer ...... a 4-6-4 Hudson #2046. Operating headlight and smoke. Big, heavy thing. Coupled via drawbar with a whistling tender (spinning armature). Sometimes I hear it referred to as a "Santa Fe style" Hudson, other times as a "New York Central style." I don't think it was a kit, but with it I got a Sunoco tank car, a coach, and a UP box car and caboose. My Grandfather bought it all new in 1952, and saved it unused until it was given to me in the early 1960's. You bet I still have it. Jim
