well let’s just say I’ve seen those crap out too. Start at around 22 min on this video where we start up the locomotives. The Frisco has had no issues. The rock island this was its first run and its last until Lionel is done with it. I just had the owner call and get a RA. And to double box it when he ships it. That’s the biggest fear I have this big boy showed up on my door with a 2X3 hole in it all the way to the styrofoam. Surprisingly it was undamaged. If it wasn’t for COVID UPS would’ve waited for a signature and I would’ve made them wait before I signed.

Well with 7 hours of run time on my 2019 ATSF Northern I'm going to assume that it's probably fine. Worst case, if it's an issue, I'll get an RCMC through the LHS I bought it from. I can't send mine back to Lionel, because they'll know I've been in it already (I did adjust the smoke unit thermistors while I was in there):

A couple guys local had issues with the RI version. I was able to adjust the thermistors on those and it seems to have solved the problem thus far.
