Hey GGG,
You know, I read enough about the Proto2 steamers that I indeed feared the same but I can guarantee you that smoke worked and the engine ran like a top when she was together, I even tried to ignore the lack of lights because she ran so well, my OCD got the best of me and I had to fix her and have everything perfect. When the new tether comes we will see what occurs. Unfortunately, I got an email from MTH that our friend Ian made it so they could not ship my order so I hope this week that changes.
Thanks!
