Thank you so much. I think the LoV also has the whistle instead of a horn, is that right( toot!):-)

I love my subways. I may get desperate enough to buy some HO sets so I can get trains I don’t have. I think they also run P3 if you buy it that way. I’ll have to check to see if they would run using the DCS explorer that comes with starter sets. I’m confused how one controls HO DCS. Anyway, thanks so much for your help. Gotta order those traction tires!

Hey PDX,

You should know  that MTH's Green Lo-V with LED "Christmas" lights (which can be turned off) have a different set of station announcements from the non-Christmas version. The Christmas version models the Jerome Ave. LexEx and, yes, it includes "161st Street Yankee Stadium."  I know this because I own it! (Though I bought it because the northern terminus is my neighborhood: Woodlawn.)

TrainWorld has it in stock (MTH #30-20534-1) and the webpage includes a video that runs through all the station stops.

But be aware! MTH's non-Christmas LED, Green Lo-V has different station announcements; it models a different line.

P.S. - Forgot to add! I have run this train hard, in auto mode, for hours (5 car length including the engine) mostly trouble-free (Initially, some of the side coverings for the trucks were shorting on crossovers & switches. Two layers of liquid electrical tape put an end to that.)
