Lionel 18056 NYC 4-6-4 J1-e Hudson 763E #5344, TMCC, Sound, Smoke, C7

  

I have the original large set box (shown in the main picture) in EX-Like New (P7-8) condition along with the individual unit boxes in like condition. Each unit box has its protective Styrofoam casing with plastic wrappings/bags.

Also included is an alternate "scale pilot truck, " 2 spare? Drive wheels, and a tube of liquid smoke. Operates on 042 diameter or greater curves. I do not have a layout so I can only test in conventional mode on a 12' test track using my ZW transformer.

The loco runs in F-N-R with occasional hesitation. Wheels and center rail contacts are dirty and worn. I heard engine sounds at start-up and chuffing sounds in motion. The directional lighting works; however the headlight does not always come on loose connection? The whistle sounds; but, sometimes sporadically on its own without activation. I never heard the bell, even when changing polarity.

A Sound Activation Button (does not come with this model) is usually required to activate the bell. I did not test the smoke unit or electromagnetic rear coupler. I noticed some light colored grease on the tender wheel electrical contacts (copper strips). I don't know if the grease could be interfering with performance. Some grease conducts electricity and some doesn't.

The loco is dusty/dirty with a few scratches (see PICs). The engine alone weighs 6 lb. With the tender adding another 5 lb. Together they are 25 ½ long.

With 6 magnatraction drive wheels, this loco should pull a good size load. It may take some time to find or make a suitable box.
