Reply to "Adding Whistle Steam"

I have the 6-11208 Big Boy with whistle steam. It's a great engine and one of my favorites. I also ordered one of the new Lion Chief 2.0 Big Boys. When that arrives I'll see if I have a new favorite. The whistle steam is a cool effect, but I will tell you that the whistle (hole) where the smoke comes out is very close to the smoke stacks and often times when blowing the whistle you don't really see the smoke coming out of the hole because it blends in with the smoke coming out of the smoke stacks. I hope this helps in your decision.
