Peter Araujo posted:I just received my Vision Line Challenger on Tuesday, and the locomotive appeared to be excellent, but nothing in the tender works. I'm planning on calling Lionel on Monday to get it fixed, and maybe add the articulated sounds. So I have a couple of questions about this whole situation.
Would the articulated sounds sound somewhat like this? Shown below is the product overview video on the 2014 Vision Line Big Boy:
Also, by no synced smoke, does that mean the sounds be out of sync from the chuff, or the smoke unit function like on the Vision Line Big Boy is excluded? This would help me decided whether or not I'd want to change the sounds.
As information, the real Union Pacific "big three" steam locomotives (the 4-8-4s, 4-6-6-4s, and 4-8-8-4s with the twin exhaust stacks) do NOT alternate the smoke from the front stack to the rear stack, as shown in that video. More Lionel fantasy.
