Really cool. I never even hooked the tender that came with the train set. The chug-chug steam sounds really add to the experience. They are closely correlated with the speed of the train. My set up is a figure 8, so my train does not seem to go fast enough to elicit the “screeching brake” sounds. I bet they would be good too!

Excellent sound quality for each of the 5 types of sounds that come with this Tender: 1: Steam Whistle, 2. Bell, 3. Chugging Sound, 4. Screeching Brakes and 5. Sounds of the conductor and engineer speaking. Much louder than I expected. Its a little tricky to get the screeching brakes to work, but I was able to do it (They come on if you have the train going at full speed for awhile and then slow down half way or so). It would have been cool to have some of the actual movie dialogue for the conductor and engineer, but it is still a fun feature. My only question is what should I do with my original tender now? I have heard that there is a special coupler that allows you to run both tenders and will have to look into that.

The Lionel Polar Express Steam Sounds Tender will make a great addition to your set, I just love it.
