PJB posted:Agreed - and thanks for posting the great vid. I got mine Thursday a week ago and I absolutely love the pop-off valve steam feature. The smoke not only increases as it steams, but it's so cool that it happens haphazardly, with a cool sound effect. And, the stack puts out so much smoke it is ridiculous. It's almost like a real locomotive. The tender lays down a dense broad carpet of smoke that creates a wide and spreading "V" as it chugs along. Plus the sounds, close-coupling, and other features are all superb. Such an absolutely great model.
PJB, any info on how many drops of smoke you added initially and then how many drops you added later? Do you time the intervals between refills?
