Lionel O gauge hotbox car
The thing that spoils it for me is that the car has Roller Bearing trucks that don’t have a journal box full of waste to catch fire. Pretty silly to have missed a fundamental detail like that.
This car will not operate with TMCC.
Need to install a Mini Commander inside of it. The Mini Commander is what makes this car turn on and off via TMCC. Mini Commander’s can be purchased from www.electricrr.com. This should have been part of the original electronics of the car, afterall the MSRP is around $120.
I really liked the sound and smoke of this one.Put some action on my layout!
