Thanks DalaGStanator for the link to the video.
I have to say I am not impressed with this. The blue light is off putting especially when it shines through the filling tube. The smoke doesn't seem to be as visible as the original Steam Along Thomas or the Real Steams engines made by Plarail/Tomy. At first I thought the idea of the two different plume of smoke effects was a great feature especially the sporadic puffs. But with the smoke being so light it is hard to see any effect. The sporadic puffs, if more visible, would certainly benefit with some chugging steam sounds. I always thought that the original Trackmaster and Plarail/Tomy would benefit more from a bright white LED to make the smoke more visible.
Seemed like the reservoir filled pretty fast, wonder how long the train runs before it needs another refill? I did get a good chuckle upon seeing the box error in mentioning Thomas when it should have been Percy....doh!
