First advertised in the Lionel 2022 Volume 1 Catalog, this engine has only been run 6 times. Very good runner and great smoke output. Has original box, owner's manual, and replacement traction tires. Only issue is the fan for the smoke unit makes a high-pitched whine.
I tried to oil the motor, but still makes the noise. At the highest sound setting on the engine volume control, you can notice it less, but it is still there.
This engine is great for tight curves as low as 0-36. Electro couplers do work on this engine. This engine runs with Lionel's Legacy Control System, Trainmaster Command Control System, the Bluetooth LionChief App, or conventional transformer. All lighting, sounds, and motorized features on this engine work as intended.
