    I'm always happy when manufacturers continue or bring back their old stock like this. A reminder of where the company started. And it's even better when they can make something like a train easy for beginners and children to use.

    I just purchased this set from Amazon. This is a nice set! ***Beware*** If you purchase this set from Amazon you will only get a partial Lionel warranty because Amazon is NOT a Lionel authorized dealer, and you probably will NOT be able to have any warranty work done at your local hobby shop, which means you would have to ship it to Lionel for repairs unless you want to pay the full cost yourself.

  • @allegheny48
    @allegheny48 5 лет назад +7

    Thanks for an interesting review Eric. It is amazing how Lionel trains have evolved since the early 1950's when I received my first train set. From plug-in-the-wall transformers to wireless control and digitally sampled diesel horns as compared to the old horn which was basically a tunable buzzer operated by a D cell battery to name a few. Your quick tutorial on changing a traction tire was very informative. This is certainly a great starter set for the money. It's good that you've taken the time to cover this portion of the hobby.

  • @larryloveless2967

    Very good looking trainset. Born in 1953 I grew up with a 1960 Santa Fe passenger trainset. This video brings back good memorires from when my Dad built in our basement with pleny of lumber and painted cement for the mountains a 3 level mountain tiered layout he started around 1958. It all came down in 1971 when I started college. Thanks for showing. I really like those train sounds the best. Mine only had a horn. I never became a model railroader but Lional rubbed off on me many years later riding all the AMTRAK long distance routes west of St. Louis / Chicago. I can say I rode the route of the Super Chief several times in those 5 weekend to weekend trips.

  • @Bando909
    @Bando909 4 года назад +1

    Honestly when I got this set I was thrilled on Christmas day last year. Was completely unexpected and I have to say for a starter set it is one of the best out there by far. I'm actually really impressed on how loud the speaker is in this engine being a starter engine.

    Thinking about getting the starter set. Recently got the Thomas Percy starter set. Grandkids loved it.
    The Bluetooth worked perfectly on my iPhone. Only dislike was the coupling. A minor annoyance.
    Also, we live in a small condo. After the grandkids left, packed it easily the original box and stored it. Very easy assembly and disassembly.

    Eric, you deserve much more than 34k subscribers. Your videos are amazingly detailed and fun and enjoyable to watch. Also I’d like another Eric’s trains live episode, because you haven’t made one in almost a year and it’s cool to see you live. Also, are people just allowed to come to visit your layout at any time of the year? (Planned ahead of time of course.)

    The locomotive is an EMD FT locomotive the F standing for 1400 horsepower and the T standing for twin, the reason why it has twin in the designations is because these units had a permanently coupled B unit with the A units.

    I have the 1948 first run Lionel Santa FE Chief with the early passenger cars. The aluminum cars were not stored properly, they were wet in a soaked carboard box, sent to me as is.
    I got them on the cheap, they weren't dented / banged up at all, dirty and rust, took trhem apart, and cleaned on them for a couple of months, cleaned and repainted the the gray parts, now sits static on the selves.

    Wow. What an awesome lay-out you've got here. And the Train is super cool too. I've got a Santa Fe Flyer set, and I love it. But tonight, the Loco has just all of a sudden.... stopped running. Might just be that it's dirty. Really dirt. More than I realized. Or the track could be dirty. Or.... something a lot worse. I'm just not sure yet. Might need to order a new Loco - but with the brief search I've done so far.... it looks like only a few more bucks just go get the set. I can't seem to find one without the Remote. This is basically the same set I have - but with remote and bluetooth. And the only thing I don't like about this updated set is... the sounds. My sounds are a lot higher quality. I may have to live with it though - if I have to replace it.
