Hi Marv,I'm with you. Perhaps someone could tell us both whether they were effective or not. Like you have said, smoke, unless deflected by strong winds, goes straight up high above the 'elephant ears'. To me, they seem to be nothing more than a distinctive cosmetic feature.Marv, do you realize that the driver is sitting back 38' from the front deck of the engine and his little window allows him to see only straight ahead? He would never see the centre of the track.(on the model, that's 19"). I'd want a buddy up there on the deck with eyes wide open.
