Those who are looking for additional info on the PC Can Super Store CN Hudson 5702. I bought one and had a friend install a decoder in it. Pretty quiet machine I must say. As the engine only pickups were quite finicky going over switch frogs I rewired the tender for pick up. Upon opening up the tender it seems the brushes are already there but no wires attached. Now when I go over turnouts and cross overs the headlight doesn't flicker or the engine hesitates or stalls. I did however disconnet the backup light in order to use the electrical attachement jack. I haven't hauled a great deal of weight on it yet so that remains to be seen. So for those not wanting to break the bank or want some kind of half decent steam presence to their layout, this is an excellent deal.
The downside is the wheel flanges are overly large so it limits on what code track you can run it on. Code 83 is the minimum I think.
