OK James, Won't tell you! But the 2-6-6-2 has an optical sensor in each engine.  So it is son of K-27 when it comes to the chuff triggers! I'm still looking at my Mallet to see if there is a way to trigger the chuff with magnets and reed switches. One of the "Enthusiastic Children"

Has the chuff signal been inverted for the Mallet?

Is there a way to effectively turn off one set of contacts? A compound articulated's exhaust goes from the high-pressure cylinders to the low-pressure cylinders before being exhausted, so--unlike a simple articulated with each set having its own exhaust cadence, this loco would only have audible exhaust tied to the front (low-pressure) cylinders. http://loggingmallets.railfan.net/sub/malletinfo.htm(BTW, B'mann--the loco looks great!) Later, K
