The engine definitely has the bellows smoke in tender unit. You can see the cap on the tender in the front where the coal is located. They are fun units. I recently refurbished the bellow unit on my locomotive.
I like it. Nice scenery. I wonder what track is used on the layout. It's not the usual American Flyer track. The Pikemaster switches have a short radius and the switches don't look like Gargraves.
Yes it is strange sounding. Some of the early models of American Flyer (1947 -48) had the smoke & choo choo unit in the tender. The design was that of a bellows and it is a little noisey. You might also be hearing the MRC Synchro Sound that attaches to the DC transformer that adds more train noise 0
isn't S scale REALLY hard to come by now?

@Amtrak1194 Not really. Go to S Helper Service and American Models websites for plenty of equipment.

Beautiful layout. But I prefer HO\OO or N scale. There's more availability, and more you can do in a smaller space. Still, keep at it!! :)
