Thanks to Lionel's half off parts sale, so I could get this locomotive back on the rails. Long overdue and on the back burner for years. New motor driver board, radio receiver board, and mother board. It finally got the attention it needed. Running smooth again.

Beautiful engine, Mike. I bet you are happy to have this back on the layout in good shape now.

Nice work Mike. The J3a Dreyfus Hudson is the number 1 engine on my list for the future. I’ve wanted to add one to my collection for a long time. Congratulations on a beautiful job. It looks brand new.

Mike - Its about time ! Sounds like you gave up and just replaced them all! Did you get your Legacy J1a back yet?

Nice! That’s got to be a good feeling. I know when something I enjoy of mine stops functioning, it doesn’t leave my mind until I figure out how to fix it.

John you are right, I was swinging for the fence, to repair this engine. I know the problem was in at least two different boards and I couldn't wait any longer, so I replaced everything. Worth it to me. Pushing nineteen years old, I thought Lionel would remake this loco with legacy by now. I'd be in that line too.
No news on the Pennsy J.

Nice work Mike, your persistence paid off. How about a video of the engine in action?
