Christmas Coming So...

I already got the Coca-Cola branded loco/wagon train set the Christmas before the pandemic started (2019) so adding the wagons was a no brainer for me

But as for the Princess Helena not only does it look "the dogs danglies", but has a factory fitted digital DCC sound decoder, which means you not only get to control it if you have a DCC controller, but it also has realistic sound.  Here's a video example of one running;



The sound effects range from the normal steam idling sounds you get when a loco is sitting in a station/siding to the deep throb of the steam as it pulls away building up to full speed running sounds (I'm not sure this video demonstrates the latter as I was watching another the other day that did).  You also get a bunch of 'spot sound effects' triggered by DCC functions sent from your controller such as sounding the whistle etc...


This is the video I watched when I saw the listing on eBay before I decided to bid;
