I notice from Alex's video that this engine has two chuffs per rev. Is that fixed or can it be switched to 4 chuffs. I realize that in can be modified for 4 chuffs but just wondering if it was built with this option.

Maybe that is a much older Lionel ESE Hudson. Lionel didn't really join the "4-chuffs per revolution club" until within the last 4 or 5 years, as I remember.
Don't quote me on the exact year, but I believe it was the neighborhood of 2005 or maybe 2006 when this engine came out. CCII was right around the turn of the millennium, and one engine and/or set was offered each year on very close to a 1 year cycle(as opposed to CCI, where they squeezed all 5 offerings into probably 3 1/2 years). This ESE was the last of the 5 CCII offerings. Definitely does not support 4 chuffs out of the box.
yes, but I seem to remember in the CC brochure the selling point was you would never see these items produced again. I am sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

That guarantee probably goes the way of the Heritage (name of catalog, not more recent popular Diesel series) items with the "lifetime" warranty.
Company ownership changes, all bets are probably off.
