USA Trains J1E Hudson with sound

Surely, someone out there has acquired this superb diecast meatal beauty already. My question is on its sound, how does it fair to Phoenix? Secondly, how does it smoke? Anxiously awaiting the lucky already owners!!!!!

We got one in our club.
How does it fare to Phoenix? It is Phoenix.
Runs very well, also.
Smoke? Not now, the owner removed the smoke unit so he could add more weight over the front.

JB is right. It comes either without sound with Phoenix sound. The smoke units puts out four puffs per revolution,
