Milan, glad to hear you're happy with it. Does the chuff sound more like a chop than a chuff?
Rusty, Thanks. That sounds right. Lionel has, however, made unannounced changes to engines as they re-release them. The AF TMCC Mikados and Pacifics, for examples, evolved from having flimsy plastic microswitches inside for chuff to more robust units used in their O gauge engines and dummy pilots to ones with electrical pick-up. Just wondering if anyone notices internal or otherwise unannounced changes like those with this batch of Berks.
