I recently purchased a LEGACY Polar Railorad K-4 locomotive. Purchased 2 months ago but only ran it this week (told myself I wasn't allowed to run it until the wife got her new car, but figured I'd get it because it was on sale [I learned that one from her ]). It seems to run well, though the green marker lights in front don't work (red ones on tender do), and the smoke fan seems very loud. It puffs smoke but you can clearly hear the fan (I assume that's what it is) over the other engine sounds, much more so than on other engines. I assume I need to talk w/Lionel about these, or is there something I'm missing? All of the data from the orange LEGACY chip seemed to load into the CAB-2 ok, though I'm also very new to LEGACY.
Also. there doesn't seem to be a hole for the Whistle Steam effect (and, obviously, no smoke) that it's supposed to have. Was this a feature that ended up on the cutting room floor for the PE K-4s, or is this an issue w/my particular engine?
All thoughts, suggestions, even snide remarks appreciated. Thanks.
