Hi, new here, but I'm sending my J1a back to the dealer, he said he would take it. I called lionel and got the same run around as all of you did. I hate that thomas whistle. Also I can hear the 3 audio cuts when you quil the whistle, kinda a click. Just poor quality that leads me to believe more quality issues will pop up on this.
I'm getting a pilot challanger, yea I know about its sound issue, but unless they time the smoke to look articulated, I'm not going to change the sound.
