Lionel 2-6-0 6-11150 Ten Wheeler NYC

Brian, fix your topic title, a 2-6-0 isn't a "Ten-Wheeler".

Yep, the Legacy 10-wheeler doesn't do idle smoke, that's one annoyance with mine as well.  I've thought about replacing the fan controller with my Super-Chuffer to fix that, just haven't gotten around to it yet.  This locomotive has an odd cobbled up bunch of custom boards, I think early on in the Legacy product line they didn't have things totally laying flat yet.

I suspect the newer one that just came out has a different board and probably does the idle smoke properly.

I hope so as I'm getting one for my birthday in a couple months.

Since it's running the new RCMC electronics, I'm sure it has the latest smoke features.  Doesn't that one also have whistle smoke?

2 + 6 = 8, so far.

I apologize for the wrong ID of a ten wheeler(4-6-0).  I don't know what I was thinking-or was I thinking!  I very much appreciate the information.  A 2-6-0 is a mogul-I'm just trying to make myself feel better!!!!  Oh well, no one is perfect.  I have the new Lionel 6-82271 NYC 4-6-0 on it's way(there I got it right). I was planning on double heading the new one with the old one.  It will be a bit weird, but placing the old one as the second engine will be a bit more prototypical.  The NYC used these engines exclusively on the Putnam Division.  I don't know if they ever double- headed them, but I sure as heck am going to do it.   Thanks again for the confirmation that my unit was "normal." Gunrunnerjohn, a special thanks to you!
