i still am going to upgrade mine tr railsounds in a little bit i have the model number you gave me for it i just upgraded the smoke unit in it you should see how much better 1225 berkshire smokes now

@grizzleybearz282004 really good job on your upgraded smoke unit...that's how it should smoke to begin with...wonder how the new stand alone PE engine will do with the whistle steam effect...my guess not much if they don't upgrade the smoke unit to a fan driven one

[grizzleybearz282004]

@Lafondue thanks and as afr as the new PE engines if lionel wants to spent the xtra $0.50 on a better heating element then ya it should work out pretty good

[Lafondue]

@grizzleybearz282004 they better be...but heck they already did not spend the extra $ for upgrading the tender to Railsound...or having TMCC....really don't see people flooding store to get the same engine with just the steam whistle added...and to top the price is basically the same as the set...

2.37 then its broken

[Lafondue]

@raymankevin2288 nope...hahaha...just turned off....this train has been running for now over 1000hrs with no issue..just once had to change the traction tire....Lionel quality

[Lafondue]

@oOWickedRulesOo no, that the original one from the set...the stand alone one with whistle effect will not be available before fall 2011

[oOWickedRulesOo]

Does this locomotive come with the whistle steam effect?

[Lafondue]

@BangkokPalace absolutely....Lionel best selling train set ever....now it's a good time to buy, after Christmas...can get it for much cheaper.

[BangkokPalace]

do they still sell this in stores?
