My VisionLine Triplex is a magnificent engine. I really like it ALOT. The one negative is the weak or nonexistent whistle smoke. I think others might be experiencing similar.
I contacted Dave Olsen of Lionel and he suggested using compressed air to clear out the tubing to the Whistle. Prior to doing this I had really no smoke. After clearing the whistle tubing with compressed air I didn’t immediately see a rush of smoke. However after several minutes of running and constant whistling……. I saw smoke.
Either I am extremely impatient ( I am) or the engine has to run for several minutes for the Whistle smoke to work. Even though the Stack smoke works almost immediately and it feeds the Whistle.
By the way, did I say I really like this Engine?????
