@@MygrandpasTrain Thank you. I took the B unit to Gary's. The bell and horn worked off his MRC transformer controls. The diesel sounds work good with AF transformer. The volume rheostat was stuck but I finally got it freed up and turned down. The A unit was a dummy with a sound board also. It is running with a 1954 dual motor Rocket chassis in it.

I grew up on American Flyer; my father had an S-scale layout that covered the basement. But it always bothered me a little that AF used ALCO locomotives instead of EMDs. The EMD plant in those days was not far away and the CB&Q trains through our town always ran EMD locomotives.

I have six or seven Hudsons myself, including two SIT locos, one of which now has a piston smoke unit in the tender. One is from 1946 while the other is a '46 loco with a '47 tender, one of Gilbert's surplus engines that were put together. Then there's a 322 from 1948, a 324AC with controller, a 326 that can smoke up a storm, a 21129 pulling a '58 Pacemaker set and a 21130 pulling a '59 Nighhwak set.
