My Maine Central #331 has arrived. Runs fine. I didn't test the smoke. I only ran it on a temp 20ft piece of track on the floor. I ran it using the Lionchief app. I prefer my Cab1L. But Bluetooth operation was the easiest at this time without a layout. No broken parts found during the unboxing. 👍 I was nervous about this after recently reading about Lionel QC issues. I'm not sure if the maroon color is correct. Looks a bit too red/pink. I've never seen factory fresh MEC or Boston and Maine maroon. MEC was mostly Harvest yellow in my youth. Maroon engines were faded and dirty or repainted green or yellow.
