@@LousTrains1523I exceeded my budget so I couldn’t order that one. I did order the Polar Express with every passenger car. That arrived today thanks to Mr Muffin! I’m pretty sure they’ll be coming out with matching passenger cars real soon. 👍
@TwistedMacGyversTrains This was not an easy call because it's the 20th anniversary for Polar Express and that's a big deal. I ended up getting an LC 2.0 Polar Express and it's solid. Too many options so much $$$.
Beautiful Locomotive Lou! I wish you much fun with it. 765 is waiting for me to pick her up. Gotta love Berkshires 👍👍 If I do not see you out here before then, Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
@thefuriousgamer2553 I've gotten quite a few engines in the last year and I don't think I've heard it before either, but I can't be certain it's not on another engine! It's amazing though which is why I went with it.
@@LousTrains1523Amazimg whistle. I know the 777 also has the Berkshire 765 whistle. Do you know the other 3 whistles? Hoping it’s got the Norkolk & Western Hooter & JClass whistle I’ve heard on some other new 2024 Berkshires?
Sorry for so many questions. I asked you a question about the other whistles on the engine but also wondering what curves those are in your first turn on the video: O48, O60, O72?
No worries about the questions. The outer loop is 060 the inner and upper loop are 036. The yard off to the right can load 2 of my longer trains at 060 and 2 more shorter trains at 036 so I can live switch out the main loop with a few trains without cutting power. At some point when I rebuild the layout I'll get an 072 loop but I've noticed at that size table access ports to reach the inside of the layout become necessary! That's why many larger layouts are horseshoe shaped, or have a large circle with an open middle.
@@LousTrains1523Thanks for letting me know! I’ve got O48 curves but with 4” straight pieces between each O48 curve to stretch out the curve. I think it will work with the Berkshire, people have reported Berkshires running on O48 in the past. Part of me didn’t want to risk it, but that Locomotive is so gorgeous I’m leaning towards giving it a shot.
@@INDYNOIR1 I'd be very curious if that would work. In fact I wanted to test if my L1 Mikado's (042) could run on those 036 loops inside as they have a 10" straight; I haven't done it because I'm worried about breaking something - maybe I'm being a bit to conservative. I agree about the engine looks, it didn't fit my collection road names but that blue!
@@LousTrains1523 I received the train. It works just fine on 048 with little straight pieces between each curve. I'm guessing it would also work fine on just a full 048 curve but I haven't tried that yet. It does have the Jclass whistle and N&W Hooter which was another plus. Beautiful locomotive, Love it!
Grass looks really good too.
Awesome paint scheme on that Berkshire, l I love it. 💯
That Berkshire has an awesome paint scheme!!!
Congratulations Lou! That 777 is gorgeous! I love it!!
@TwistedMacGyversTrains Yes thank you - I've seen a few of these and I liked this one the best!
I hope that there are passenger cars made for that engine.

Now that is one beautiful engine! That Blue 😀😍 definitely looks like such a great set to have
I agree I think this is one of the prettiest engines released this year! For me it's a toss up between this engine and that Halloween Triplex.
Great vidio, nice loco details wow, and what are your curtains backdrop. Thanks for the morning coffee...

Thank you, it's so pretty and amazing detail. My other engines are jealous lol. Have a great Thanksgiving as well!
What a paint job. Striking.
Awesome an S2 Berkshire in the nickel plate road streamlined diesel paint scheme
Beautiful locomotive
Waiting for mine to arrive! It’s a beautiful engine.
Man that Train looks gorgeous.Runs like a Ross Royce
I never heard of a Ross Royce. Do you mean Rolls Royce?
Omg what is that whistle it’s so beautiful don’t think I’ve heard it before from Lionel

That's a Hancock 3 chime whistle. The same whistle 611 has
@joemalone6923 Nice thanks for the info!

Is that there one of them $3,000.00 Locos.?
What size are those folding tables and are they sturdy? How many did you use?

I wish there was a way we could know the production numbers.
I'm not sure I follow completely but the SKU for this one is 2431510. I've started to put these in the description.
@ I would like to know how many Lionel made. Lou, this is Greg
@gregleuze6657 lol I didn't realize. Yes it would be cool if they numbered them like that now I follow
