I recently watched several U Tube videos of the forthcoming BR 24 and one showed the smoke output, while another with the installed sound decoder for digital operation. The boiler piping and other details are well done, and this engine is a smooth runner. I, of course, will be operating mine with my DC lab quality 3 amp power supply in conjunction with a PIKO 5 amp analog throttle for relatively ripple free output. The one thing I especially like about my 3 amp power supply is that the cooling fan does not run constantly like some power packs, but only if the current draw exceeds a certain level, which to date, has not happened at a 1.20 amp draw for my LGB 2085 mallet with two motors, four lights and a smoke unit pulling four passenger cars.
