After years of searching, we finally found an MTH Big Boy for our garden. Along the list of functions, there is a 'smoking whistle' feature, but only for DCS users. We installed an ESU Fx decoder that controls the smoke unit for the whistle. Now it works with DCC too! We also replaced the speaker with a Visaton FRS 8 speaker.
Enjoy watching the first ride of this beast on our layout!
The maximal radius of the curves is LGB R3.
Due to the strong wind, we didn't use the primary smoke unit all the time.
