Nice update like it very much.Hope there more.

[@TheHobbyistNovice]

There def will be, thanks !

[@FloridaStateWX]

I am thinking of getting this set one day, after I get the Rail Chief or the Digital Commander sets, to enhance my model railroading experience. Very informative. Nice layout btw.

[@TheHobbyistNovice]

Thanks, I appreciate that. It’s a lot of fun !

[@FloridaStateWX]

@@TheHobbyistNovice No problem. The best part about model railroading is not the trains, but rather sharing the hobby with friends and family.

[@WWIIREBEL]

I really wish Bachmann would do a re-release of their classic Amtrak Metroliners. I had a set of four coaches and that set really flew around my layout back in the day,lol.

[@monmixer]

I'll follow you because I'm a novice also.

This train does NOT smoke

[@aidarodriguez4455]

You are right, I saw this video and thought it smoked.

[@suburbanthebotalt1353]

I wish it smoked, I have the train

[@FreedomLovingLoyalistOfficial]

@@aidarodriguez4455 He means a smoke unit.

[@jonimendes4826]

Good for him, that would be unhealthy

[@user-rm9mm4io1w]

Another dumb ass 😂have fun cleaning out that oil 😂😂

[@YMS137]

Do you need to make a correction regarding the soke feature?

[@historyboy08]

This engine does not have a smoke unit like their cheaper models. You should have this corrected.

[@TheHobbyistNovice]

I will be sure to make a correction video. Thank you for pointing this out

[@cadillacescalade5428]

So this locomotive really smokes ? I didn't see it in the video. From all the videos I've seen I never knew it smoked nore seen it smoke.
If I would have known I would have gotten this set instead of the Thunder chief I got.....now ima have to get this one now.

[@paleo704]

Beautiful set. Very hard to find

[@publius1252]

Very informative video, thanks! What are the dimensions of your layout, if you don’t mind saying?

[@TheHobbyistNovice]

Thank you ! The table is about 70” in length and about 36” in depth

[@jamesterry5282]

Any way to put a smoke unit in it?

[@TheHobbyistNovice]

If there is, I’m not sure how.

[@jackkade2323]

I don't think those steel side cars are time period correct with that engine ? ?

[@freescopesdad]

how do you get the horn to work? All I get is the chuffing with no instructions as to other sounds.

[@TheHobbyistNovice]

My set just worked as it was noted
to in the instruction manual. I believe it was function 2 or 3 on the controller

[@freescopesdad]

@@TheHobbyistNovice I figured it out... 🙄

[@FreedomLovingLoyalistOfficial]

Did it smoke? I'm confused.

[@TheHobbyistNovice]

Hey! The locomotive does not
smoke, unfortunately
