Bought this as a gift because both the item information and the parts breakdown show whistle smoke.

BobbyD,

Did you blow the whistle? Mine works great although it is no longer a Polar RR engine. It has been painted back to PRR standards.

Bobby,

I have this model as well and there is Whistle Steam ... There are two places to fill for stack smoke and whistle ... make sure that is done ...

The whistle steam smoke fluid is added under the dome. It's held on by magnets, though can be a bit tricky to pop off due to other added detail pieces.

Thanks guys. I had them stop running it and after your replies they have now discovered the secret hatch and added fluid to that second smoke unit. May get one for myself if some furniture sells.

Astonishingly Lionel does not mention it in the owners manual! They would not have been happy unknowingly burning it up! Especially just prior to it's inaugural season. We thank you all again!
