Reply to "Lionel Vision line Big Boy Coal Collapse Feature"

PJBOGR Forum Member

Basically, isnt this loco the Vision ATSF except with off-set stack smoke and magic coal load? If so, then the price issue might be - are the off-set stacks and magic coal load really commensurate with the price increase over the Vision AT&SF?

Frankly, instead of off-set stacks, I really wish Lionel had added cylinder steam and dynamo/injector steam in addition to whistle and blow-down. The dynamo/injector is an auto function (don't need to activate via command) and adds so much more in terms of smoke effect realism. Said differently, the Vision Challenger actually had more apparent independent smoke effects than this "latest, cutting edge" Vision loco - and for significantly less money. While the big boy has a "wow" factor, if I could find a black Vision Challenger, I would rather own it with its preferred smoke effects. Just one opinion.
