Back to the two 4-4-2s into one 4-8-2 project. I cut the wire going to the extra smoke unit. How are they wired? Do they ground to the engines metal shell? If I have the room I might mount this extra smoke unit in front of the cab and route its smoke through a hose up to the smoke stack. Or could a rubber hose catch on fire? Anyone have any ideas?
Never “rerouted” a smoke unit “ouyput” but was told at York by a MTH company guy, surgical tubing would work.
