Loco Bill!

Excited when I saw your response! I am so glad you answered my questions.

Any chance of finding more of the cars for this set? It's been tough luck.

What do you use to maintain your trains?

Are you in process of writing a book? I think you hinted at that on several places.

Wishing you the best!

Hi All,
New to trains but loving this boxed set I picked up. The smoke doesn't work (original white bottle was still closed) tried it moments ago... 5 drops as the comic/instruction book directed.

Does the tender/coal box light up? it does not seem to work even when going backwards. I here it chugging and a short abrupt "blurp" comes out every once in a while like it's trying to toot. Forgive the lack of vocab.

I read the other posts on this model and am very impressed on the background and accumulated knowledge on this board.

Maintenance on YouTube for the 4-6-0 was very helpful. Do I need to purchase 4 types of lubricants or has this changed in recent years. Links to purchase are helpful.

Any help is appreciated.
Jae
