I purchased the ICRR model and like the engine and it does smoke incredibly.
This has been an interesting engine.
Will be calling Lionel as I am experiencing issues and some I have never seen occur previously.
1.) Stops all of sudden and lights on engine go off. Then if I turn the legacy dial either way it takes off like a rabbit or it restarts on its own. Learned this by accident.
2.) After being programmed it will start on other numbers or when starting another engine.
3.) After completely shutting down engine, it starts to move on its own without any sound or other features. Just creeps along
4.) Whistle steam smokes but not ejected but emits out the port at a continuous rate.
5.) Finally when running it sounds rough when running.
#1,2 & 3 are items I have not experienced previously with any other engines. I have experienced forgetting engine ID but not how this randomly startsup with other numbers being activated.
Figured would post my experience just to see if anyone else has seen similar issues
