The answer is yes. What disappointed me was it makes the sound of and electric train and not a steam engine. Even with sound injected into the atmosphere, you hear the mechanical noise that would be ok if it were a diesel. Accept the fact it’s a good toy and enjoy it.

The fact that it’s brass, I’ll use it for a “favorite train” and pull the “company special” with first class varnish and a couple private cars if it whims me.
