Just a few questions for the forumites who own both Lionel's newer #6-18754 Polar Express Berk & Tender W/Whistle Steam & Railsounds and the locomotive from the P.E. rtr sets or have seen both run side by side.
How would you compare the smoke output from each engine's smokestack?
Do they smoke equally or is one a better smoker than the other (I'm not talking about how well the steam whistle smokes but rather just the smoke coming from each engine's smokestack)?
Does blowing the whistle on the steam whistle effect engine cut down the amount of smoke coming from that engine's smokestack?
Do the Railsound chuffs cut off when the bell or whistle are used on the Whistle Steram & Railsounds engine?
Do the two engines have the same pulling power?
Thanks for your input fellas.
