Thanks for posting

David,

I bought the Lionel version from a OGR forum member and am quite happy with the units. Really heavy pieces, run well, smoke great(8.4 ohm resistors) and sounds are the usual excellence for railsounds. Been looking for this piece for almost 10 years and waited for the best price possible.

 

See you at York and assuming you are enjoying retirement from Pathmark. My days with Nabisco can end whenever I am tired of the BS-just a call to HR.

By the way, Look in the booklet as the Cab-1 or cab-2 keys are different for smoke operations. 8 and 9 turn the headlight or cab light on/off. In neutral, you should have a blinking red headlight which turns into bright white and I think it blinks as well??

Great engine and weighs a ton !  It will pull pretty much anything you put behind it too.  If you are looking for the seperate-sale aux tender let me know.

David:

 

One of the best engines Lionel has produced. Even back in 2002, we had to wait quite awhile from the time it was introduced in a separate catalog till the time it reached the consumer. The red headlight feature, when the engine is stopped, is another nice feature, as Ted has mentioned.

 

I think you made an excellent decision in selecting this model of the Veranda.

Thanks guys, it is a great engine and even though it is 10+ years old it looks and runs like new. 

 

Ted, thanks for the tip on the smoke units, what buttons on the cab 2 control the smoke units.  See you at York. 

 

PTC, thanks for your nice comment

David,

2 smoke units.

Front which comes on after speed step 7 as you hear the sounds change.

Aux1, press 2 , press 1- front fan unit on-repeat again same numbers and fan unit off.

Aux1, press 2, press 2- front smoke element on- repeat again same numbers for off.

 

Rear comes on with start-up and shuts down once you go to speed step 7.

Aux1, press 1, press 2- rear fan and element on- repeat same numbers for off.

 

It is on page 20 of the manual. If you did not get the manual which I did not get with my engine, you can easily download it off Lionel's site.

Thanks Ted, see you at York or the Ogr get together.
