That's a crappy title but it will make sense in a minute.

 

I just got a 30-20147-1, a MTH Rail King SW1 PRR PS3.  Nowhere on the box or on the website does it say smoke. But, on the DCS Commander (50-1028) screen when it added there was the smoke icon!?! The smoke stack is open, but I had seen a video review where the reviewer said he thought the shell was to small for a smoke unit.

 

My FA-2 does not have smoke and there is no icon. My K-4 has smoke and has the icon.

 

I didn't just want to start pumping smoke fluid down the stack without being sure. I reckon I'll take the shell off and look to be sure.

 

Nice bonus I suppose.

 

BTW Wholesaletrains.com, I had heard some iffy things about them, but this is my 3rd purchase and I'm very happy. I ordered Monday night with Normal shipping, called Tuesday to confirm, was told it could be 2 weeks, got the shipping notice Wednesday for FedEx Home Delivery, it got here at 1:00 PM and my son brought it in. AND it was discounted $50! Pretty darn good.

 

If this puppy smokes this may be the most pleasant transaction I've made yet.

Ok, very carefully removed shell. No smoke unit. So why is the icon on? Does this indicate an issue with the PS3 board? Or is that just a feature which is always present on the board whether or not the smoke unit is present? Cuz I don't think I got this on the FA-2, gonna check right now. Ok, FA-2 has the icon and no smoke unit.

 

Never mind.
