The video shows the smoke units producing plenty of smoke in both the powered and non-powered A units.
I ordered these FA diesels from a local hobby shop in February. The store owner anticipated receiving them in November, but was surprised to receive them from Lionel 2 days ago. I bought these FA units today, and ran them for the first time this evening. So far I'm very pleased with these trains especially because, although not cheap, they don't break the bank.

The verdict is that even thoug this LC+ FA AA does not pull like my post war Pennsy GG1 with magnetraction, I still love this LC+ FA AA smoking diesel. I think the reason for its inability to pull a long train of postwar operating cars is that this LC+ diesel is not a ton of bricks like the GG1.
It does a great job pulling plenty of postwar semi scale passenger cars or modern freight cars. The sounds are very good, the smoke it produces is terrific, and it looks great.
I've become a big LC+ fan.
