I don't know, seems like it was a good discussion, "getting nowhere" is a bit cynical I'd say. Established that you have to put fluid in by the whistle and that the new one doesn't have the two holes interconnected, and he's figured out that you just need to put the fluid down the whistle hole where the smoke comes out. Not sure what he'd really even have to ask Lionel at this point.
