For anyone with the A6 I asking for a friend that recently got one. With Legacy he has a issue where if you blow the whistle for say 2 seconds then release then immediately pull back down on the slider, no whistle sound comes out for roughly 3 seconds but smoke comes out of the whistle. This happens no matter if its moving, or stopped. Any ideas?

I do not own one of these locomotives but I will say that the A6 is not the only loco that does this. I own a h10 and a vision line big boy and if I do the same thing you described they do the same thing. My thought is that the sound board does not expect that sudden blast and so no sound. Whereas, the fan board responds. Over all, I think it’s not a problem, I just think it’s a matter on how they were made.

I've seen that same thing on multiple engines. I think we're looking at a limit to the technology. In 50 years people will look back at this and think how quaint, some will even say "back in my day ..." and then people will argue about it being better or something.
