Nice JLC Challenger!!!! Like other people said...Lionel's Legacy engines do smoke more. I have a Vision line Pennsy CC2s and it smokes like there is no tomorrow! I just have to keep feeding smoke fluid into it because it burns it up so fast! :-)
@toytrains1 The Legacy Steam Engines have better smoke output the TMCC engines just like this Challenger are not the best smokers in the world. But to make a engine like this is probably order a Legacy Steam Engine Smoke Unit.
If you saw in the second run, when it went on that curve, it swung the chain from the water tower. You gotta watch out for that, just to let you know. Awesome train by the way!
what's with the oil tender?

Do You Think You Could Make A Second And Longer Video Of This Engine? I Really Like This Engine And I'm Thinking About Getting One In The Future.

The older smoke units don't work as well, but they do now. Is this the scale challenger or the semi-scale one?

@PereMarquette1223 It is the scale challenger from 2000.

These Lionel steamers don't smoke like the MTH steamers, even after I've done all I can to improve smoke volume.

@toytrains1 Well, since Visionline came out, Lionel's starting to improve.

@726berkshire I cant stand the look of the lights on the vision series. Looks like gruesome flourescents or something.

@Railroadtrip445 I have a camel back from 2000, and it smokes me out! So does my consolidation from 2008.

It hits the chain, but does not snag it. It took a while to get it just right! :-)
