Hi everyone. Hey, I got my boys the new GE loco and lab car for christmas.It looks fantastic and runs well.My concerns are the sound being lower then I expected and more important when we run the smoke unit there is a loud buzzing sound.The unit smokes well, it's just loud.Has anyone delt with that?Is it a quick fix?

Are you running DCS or conventional?If DCS there is volume comtrol on the remote. There's also volume control inside the engines cap. I have 3 of them but none buzz
hi spence we are running coventional for now.The volume inside the body is at full volume. no buzzing sound until I turn the smoke unit on.When I turn the train sounds volume all the way down and turn the smoke unit on by itself is when the buzzing starts.Thanks in advance for any help.
I'm afraid that the "buzz" is out of my expertise but I'm sure you'll get some good answers here.
Probably the smoke unit fan, if you don't notice it with the sound up its probably at an normal/acceptable level. Defective smoke fans usually get obnoxiously load and can be heard over the sounds.
hey rickO, thanks for the tip. I think you are right about the fan. The more we turn the smoke up the louder the buzz.I will investigate and see if the fan may be in contact with something!
