Tell me, does this set have throttle controls and run by standard plugs?(Wall-Plugs)

Also, is this train Aluminum or some type of Metal?

Thanks!,

How do i make my smoke on this train more visible and how many drops should i add?

[msj191961]

@crazym26 you should add about 4-8 drops. The more you put in, the more smoke you get just don't overfill it. 10 drops would probably be too much.

@trainzstore if this nyc flyer set 0-8-0 engine realy come with not only a metal steam shell but also a metal frame then its a better 0-8-0 engine that lionel made because i got my kids the a christmas story set #6-30118 for christmas of 2010 and the 0-8-0 it comes with has a diecast shell but the frame is made of cheap thin plastic with the smallest flywheel can motor iv ever seen before in any o gauge engine today it dosent run something isup with gear box in the frame its very cheaply made

@trainzstore the set has around 45 minutes of running time since i got it new but because its over 12 months old i paid for it in nov of 2010 for them to have it for christmas lionel will not cover what ever the defect is and said the parts and lobor would come out of my pocket most people only run there set under the christmas tree once a year so if you dont find anything wrong within the first few weeks of owning it before its put away for next year then your out of luck i think thats B.S!

That is a cool train now I saw this in the Lionel 2009 catalog for $299.95 but it didn't say that the engine has trainsounds. Is that the same set or a different set? I would love to buy this set soon!

@Wontonwabledoo That is probably the older or the newer one. I don't know but search on eBay the number of this set which is 6-30103 and it should pop up as TrainSounds.
