seems like the more I run this big boy the better the stacks smoke and the steam whistle works! or maybe it was because I had the original lionel legacy engines 765 and my 4436 daylight and the 3751 atsf running at same time seems like they all were smoking well hmmm competition maybe?
I will admit the big boy will cost more in smoke fluid man this beast is thirsty! I have discovered if I set smoke stack to medium setting the steam whistle effect is visible as when in high smoke I really have to look to see if it is working.
even though the real big boys never had smoke synced to each set of drivers I have to admit it is a pleasant sight will have to set it to both stacks smoke at same time just to see what that is like.
at least the 0-72 minimum curve also allows freight cars to run behind it as well without any issues. the only thing lionel could have done for us would be to have included the swinging bell feature maybe the next release if one is ever done again but this one still is a home run for those of us able to pay the asking price.
I hope you all are enjoying your big boy as much as I am.
. I am still enjoying it very much anyway
it smokes like a beast
