Polar Express reverse/smoke switches?
Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, July 19, 2006 8:23 AM

Just received the Lionel set and the instructions show smoke and reverse unit on/off switches.  I don't see these on the rear of the berkshire (even after putting my glasses on)...

Is this a case of made in China or bad documentation?

Thanks!

The switches are located inside the cab, where the engineer and fireman would be.

The directions also say that there are 3 screws holding the shell and frame together. I counted 4 when I looked at mine.

Your right, I picked the locomotive up and finally saw them.  I just needed to look closer.
