A peek inside the Polar Express Berkshire

Thanks for the look-see inside.

cIs that the scale version or the RTR set version?

It is from the AF Polar Express RTR set

Well his smoke mood should work just fine then.

Mod not mood darn auto correct on my phone.

Nice view, thanks. Curious, is the smoke unit at all like the 3Rail ones?

Very similar to 3 rail smoke units but not the same being a bit smaller.

It is used in other Lionel/AF locos. 

Carl - thanks for the 'peek' -- do you think the smoke unit from the PE could be retrofit into the Flyonel Mikado?  I have the UP version of that loco and, while its a nicely detailed engine, the smoke unit is really substandard, in my view.

Rich,

 

No it is too big.

 

Look here though for some ideas and videos.

Carl - thanks.  Thanks also for the web link.  I've poked around your terrific website several times - I missed this.  I'll study it when I get more time.

Is the pilot a separate piece, so it can be replaced by a more scale-looking one?

The non-Polar Express Berkshires will have a more scale sized and accurate pilot.
