Alot of talk has been spent over the depleting load coal feature with mixed results on the Forum. A decision to buy will be based upon several other features as well and they appear to be winners. If I didn't already have a top line Big Boy, I would probably go for this Vision Line offering.
These are the features which most attract me:
1. 4 smoke units
2. new whistle steam
3. new blowdown steam
4. new DUAL STEREO SOUNDS with speakers in loco and tender
5. new dual smoke
I like very much all of these features and they give plenty of reason to buy this item. There is much more to consider than just the depleting coal load feature.
How many are excited by one or more of these other features. I especially am excited by the new sound system in stereo.
