Good afternoon all,

Do you guys have any problems with the refilling the vision line big boy “4014” coal tender? When running the big boy around my layout, the coalin the coal tender drops automatically, as it should. Problem I have is, the coal tender will not refill.

I am running the legacy remote, I use the commands that are given in the owners manual to refill the tender, it doesn’t respond!

The only way I can get it to refill is to go into program mode, click the set button on the remote. Then switch back over into run mode to get the coal tender to refill.

In today's market it's a pretty decent deal.  I will say that occasionally one comes along cheaper, I bought one that was virtually new with all the accessories included for $1700 recently.  However, I see ones that have been opened selling for more on eBay, so take that into consdideration.  I traded it for a different road number (#4012) so I could double-head it with my original #4014.  I did the trade in person and we both got to run our new possession for a spell to insure they were 100%.  However, I wouldn't look for anything like that to come along too often.

Do note that you have no warranty with one sealed in the box, though they are pretty trouble-free and actually fairly easy to work on.
