Thanks to everyone's review of the S-2, I placed an order for one a few days ago and received it yesterday. It was still sealed and thus a few questions... Was there a certificate about the Century Club that was suppose to be included and for the life of me, I cant find the small plastic overlay for my hand held remote. Those two issues aside, it's a great little engine. It stalled a few times even after oiling, now it running fine, guess it needed some run time after sitting in the box for so many years. Also, the smoke was a little wimpy, until I coupled a few metal log and coal dump cars to the conscript. Now it runs great, smokes pretty good,the rail sounds are fine and the whistle is unbelievable. Very happy with this purchase. Just a side note, the video that I saw that got me back into O trains is well worth watching. It's called "Classic Lionel Trains in Action" on you tube. Its a video that Lionel should have filmed something like it back in the day....
