This question has been answer numerous times since this ( unprototypical) feature was announced. 

 

NO Here is why: Originally posted by HotWater: 

 

The smokebox on any and all steam locomotives is one huge open-on-the-inside cave, so to speak. No matter whether there there are two exhaust nozzles , as on articulateds, or one exhaust nozzle as on two cylinder and three cylinder locomotives, the end result is the exhaust steam/smoke all exists the stack/stacks in unison, i.e. no individual synchronized chuffs.

 

Heres 3985 ( same exhaust setup as a bigboy) "masquerading" as Clinchfield 676. Its even more obvious that the stacks do not chuff independently when the loco is going slow at about the 11;55 mark.

what seems strange is changed both stacks to be as one.
yet you still get a double chuff sound now mind you am not thinking it shouldn't be that way but it's just seems odd a double chuff to one burst of smoke.
it's not a deal breaker and in no way am I upset or down talking it.
I like my big boy synced or not it truly is a nice engine.
