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.
