I’d definitely say this one is better than their original scale 1218! These have tons of separately applied detailing and also have great sounds and smoke units!
For the price, the TMCC is better. But that's about it, the new VisionLine Class A is INFINITELY superior to the old Class A in literally every department except price lol
At first when these were announced I didn’t even consider getting the glossy painted 1218 because I wasn’t sure how it’d look. I love the WW2 version, but the glossy finish is a real eye catcher so I guess I would have to put my vote in for that! Even video doesn’t totally capture what it looks like in person!
IMO this is my favorite of all the Vision Line models. Stunning!
I agree, Lionel really hit a home run with these N&W Class A’s! I’m really hoping they’ll eventually make some Y6 and Y6a’s at some point haha! 😄
Awesome video. Love the A Class very happy with mine.
Good Idea, if your short on space put the train in the ceiling. "Hmm"
that is a beatiful model and that gloss finish makes the engine even more beatiful im concidering buying one and btw who made the N&W hoppers
Lionel definitely did an awesome job with these Class A’s! The N&W hoppers are made by MTH and the Virginian ones are Atlas O 👍
Lionel made a TMCC version back in the 2000s. Is this one better?

If you could choose only one, which do you like more? Glossy or Matte?

@@jaystrains27 that's the one I ordered yesterday 😁
Nice!! You’ll definitely like it! 😄
Can the two A’s be doubleheaded?
Oh yeah, I’ll probably do a video about that eventually lol! 😁
