Lionel American Flyer S gauge 4-8-4 Northern
What were they thinking by adding the choo-choo sound in the engine, AND a railsound tender?
I am very surprised that TMCC isn’t available as more S gaugers, such as myself, are running TMCC with old AF, too. A cost consideration, perhaps. I applaud Lionel for reintroducing old steamers with new features and I hope they keep it up. They should promote TMCC in the Flyer line to boost sales.
This is a beautiful locomotive and looks great pulling the UP heavy weight cares behind it. The Lionel fix for the smoke unit squeek works fine as the rail sounds doesn’t need added choo choo sounds. I only wish that it had TMCC as the mikado and pacific do.
Gotta have this. Waited forever for the smoke shields.
