If this subject has been posted earlier, my apologies.
What I want to know (sort of a curiosity question) is how many of you who own this engine have had the flashing error notice (3 flashes) in the cab? According to the owner's manual, that means there is trouble with the smoke generator. Also, according to the manual, you can do only 3 resets. After that, it's back to Lionel for repair. And wouldn't you know it, my one year warranty expired in Jan? I got 3 resets which fixed the problem, but of course, only temporarily. I suspect it will be quite expensive to have it fixed, plus added shipping costs. I could ignore the smoke issue and continue to operate it. Other control features appear to work.
