This will be a popular locomotive -- just like the Daylight Cab Forward was.

What they SHOULD have done was make this a sweet VisionLine locomotive with all the effects. But wait.... didn't we hear something on the forum a few days ago that Lionel might be unveiling a VisionLine loco at York in a couple of weeks? Hhhmmm.... perhaps that'll have ALL the steam effects we've been waiting for in ONE locomotive. Swinging bell too. Although I can do without the depleting-coal-load effect, which is a technological accomplishment for sure. But it's just an example of something that doesn't need to be implemented even though they can. Why push the price even higher with an unnecessary feature? confused Heck, nobody even talks about it on the VL Big Boy anymore... do they?
