K-LINE BIG BOY???
Posted by UnclePeteRR on Friday, February 3, 2012 6:15 PM

Hey Guys, i Was reading the CTT review and was wondering if anybody had one.  The comments area of the review mentioned power/sound issues.  I know its S scale mounted on O wheels. In summary any major issues and is it worth inexpensive  price?   Chris

I don't have one but I have seen them in operation. The ones that I have seen operated smoothly with no issues. As with any modern loco filled with electronics there is a higher probability that something can fail. If it has TMCC, the electronics in the steamer was supplied by Lionel and have been in use for many years.

I have one. But mine has only whistle and bell no sound. It runs perfect! and looks great with Lionels 027 cars. But keep in mind It looks very small compaird to my railking challenger and 4-8-4. But it is a great runner and pulls quite a long line of cars.
