Lionel 736. The History of Lionel's Legendary Berkshire
Modern, hands down. I was staunchly a conventical operations guys until about `2015 when I finally caved and got the legacy system. No way can I go back. Especially now with the newest 5 horns/bells to select from. Anything prior to 2009 is a no from me. I also always look for the kinematic pilots for more realism
You didn't mention a track system offered by Lionel between 1957 through 1966: Super O. It can be a bit quirky; however it has the best electrical conductivity of all track systems. The curvature is 036 which after 1958 was the widest curvature available for many years to come. It's certainly superior to fastrack and better looking than tubular.
Yeah, super o was a great system , just wanted to quickly compare the two types of track I had
Great keep up the great work
@@Guytrains thanks
Good job! The postwar metal trucks came in bar end and staple end varieties. If you lightly oil the wheel at the axle, they run as well as any of the new trucks. The late postwar era went to plastic trucks but the metal ones, being heavier track better. The dies on the box cars were modified over time and the rivet lines were eliminated to make more room for graphics the same is true on the 81/2” cars as well. Those later cars may possibly be the same modified postwar molds. The earlier 6462 gondolas had a separately applied brake wheel these were eliminated after the first year or so of production to reduce costs, they also did this with the 6456 hoppers. also the earlier gondolas had a metal frame under the plastic bodies where the trucks were mounted. The modern logos are awesome but very expensive. I love my postwar locos. And some if the newer ones with the sound. Thanks for a great video.
You failed to mention can motor electronics burning up on a serious derail rendering the locomotive useless.
ruclips.net/video/LKzg0_OG5oY/видео.htmlsi=z529uQm6HtCf6Ot1 I think you might like this video, goes into a little more detail
Lionel trains are made in communist china not china no freedom
Great idea for the video !
Thanks
Very nice! I run almost exclusively post-war and MPC, with a few modern cars and an MTH Rail King locomotive. I've never had a problem with a Pullmor motor and all of my post-war engines from 1950-53 still run quite well. A little lube and new brushes is about all that they need. Post-war trucks are stout, but don't roll worth a damn. The needlepoint-bearing trucks that were introduced during the MPC era are excellent. I've pulled 45 cars of the MPC era, along with newer Lionel, K-Line and Williams, with one locomotive. My post-war cars are bricks, as far as trucks go. I tried pulling ten tank cars and they actually can string-line on a curve. The detailing on the newer equipment is very good, for sure. I wish, though, that they had metal couplers and side tabs, rather than the thumbtack tabs on the bottom. An excellent video, as always.
@johnandrus3901 Thanks for the comment, I agree, those postwar cars have a much harder time rolling than modern counterparts
Postwar metal trucks roll just fine. The thing is, that old metal gets sticky with age, and the old lubricants become a problem. Plus there is an electolytic reaction between the rail and the sintered iron wheel resulting in a thick, rubbery gunk buildup on the wheel. I use a liquid contact cleaner, De-Ox-Id, applied with a q-tip, it cuts through the gunk. Take the entire truck apart, clean the metal, use a paper stick q-tip, when it's used up, cut off the cotton end, run the paper stick through the wheel centers. Apply oil to the wheel centers before attaching them to the axle. A dab of oil in the sideframe axle socket, and those are some very freerolling trucks. Ever seen an early postwar all metal boxcar coast 30 feet after being given a push? It's awesome.
Very cool! ❤❤❤
Thanks
Nice comparison 👍 good video of old and new
@@ELWtrains thanks for watching
What are your thoughts on postwar Lionel locomotives equipped with modern tech? I wanna do it on my 681 but I don’t know if it’s worth it
@colestrains1 I think it depends, me personally, I don't find it super appealing, I much prefer postwar engines fitted with original tech, but that's just me, for modern tech in postwar engines, I recommend modern reissue such as the century club line
@@davidstrainsandlego fair enough, I only say my 681 because it’s already been repainted rewired and converted to liquid smoker before I got it. Thanks David!
Cool post-war, MPC and modern comparisons. 💯
@@johnknippenberg-LandmarkYards Thank you
Hi from Michigan - Well deone demo 🚂
@@trainroomgaryThanks
I hope that in 40 years time, you still have all of these trains. I can promise you that parts will be available for the postwar and mpc era trains without electronics. Those nice quiet DC can motors, good luck finding replacements. I have many mpc era freight cars and most of them have die cast sprung trucks. I agree with you that their plastic couplers suck.
Thanks for watching, these trains will be a life long hobby for me l, im sure of it
Cool!
Nice steamers!
Thank you
Very nice

What a superb presentation. Unsensationalised, you've just presented the catalogues and their content just as they are. And double kudos as you've actually placed Lionel in its context of the time, that being unlike some, you've presented Lionel as it did take time to become established. It did take time to develop as a major player. Just a thoroughly watchable, knowledgeable video. Very Well done. Just to add a minor fyi: the meaning of the term (word) "standard" has actually shifted over the years, from being having a generalised definition of being the epitome of a product or service (PRR and Cadillac both being "standard of the world" as well as Lionel), by the mid-fifties the word had settled down to defining a rather more mundane "being the same as or of a universal nature" so when Lionel advertised their "standard gauge" it was more in the context of the product being of an exemplary nature, rather than being as the more modern definition of being suited for universal design, hence the fact that the 2 1/8" track was unique to Lionel wasn't actually relevant to the name. A British car manufacturer began life as "standard", however by the mid fifties the brand name had become so diluted it had now the name of the mediocre, standard being beneath the new deluxe etc. Standard motorcars became Triumph in 1959.
Thank you. Also, neat incite on the use of the word standard
A very nice look-back at the catalogs over the years. Very well done, for sure. A fine video, as always.
@@johnandrus3901 thank you, much appreciated
That 227 Lionel Canadian National has no reverse, and no Magnatraction. But due to a large traction weight it pulled fairly decently.
@chiconian49 it's an engine I've wanted to get for a while, I find the paint scheme very interesting
This one was a lot of work, hope you enjoy!
My trains are toys… all good if you want scale but I’m just an old kid.. lol
This is impressive! A question: why did you choose to use Fastrack instead of the vintage tubular track? Thanks in advance!
@@78Rudys I used Fastrack because I had lots of it from lionel sets I had
