Mr. Ben, you’re smiling like the Joker. The excitement you show is hard to contain. We all know the feeling of opening up a shiny new orange box that has just arrived from shipping. Like a true hobbyist, you tossed the instructions aside.
I am into HO scale, and I model the NEW YORK CENTRAL. So you better believe that there are a couple of these in my scale. The color is great and eye catching. Have fun!!!😊
The Locos look awesome. (I used to HO as a kid and a teenager, and miss it.) After I HS I moved onto....college and airplanes! ERAU Alum. '82 Air Science. DAB. :)
i got an MTH O-scale R-12 NYC subway set (slightly used) ... shortly after i got it, MTH went out of business !! ... NOW, these things are rare - & parts are SUPER rare !!
Smell test! Ha I thought I was the only one who did this. Great review of spectacular models. That shot of them coming from the tunnel with the smoke is so atmospheric and beautifully done.
They look good my man, BUT I only run Lionel trains around the Christmas tree (usually 3 loops). The cost doesn't equal 3-4 weeks of running. Have fun 👍🏼
I went for the Southern Pacific, Amtrak, Christmas, and AC&W. They also I catching, that I had to lol The blue/green color of this just doesn't really do it for me...though have the New York Central from 2019. Good video Ben!
Beautiful Ben, thanks for sharing! Love your excitement! I love NYC stuff as my late wife worked for New York Central Mutual Insurance Company for a long time. NYCM was named after the NYC railroad that went through the town where they are located.
LOVE THE NEW TRAIN SMELL!!!! Trust me, I know that wonderful feeling ALL TOO WELL!! Orange Box Goodness!! I ordered the Christmas set + all the passenger cars, and I also may order the NY Central set as well!!
You make a great point about colors. The fantasy trains sells well because of the colors. Yeah unfortunately for those who can't afford new will no longer be able to buy cheaper on the Ebay market used or new. I will check out your live stream when I get a chance sometime.
Love that you got a new item for your collection. Just notice your channel, I will be checking you out in the future. I believe you are modeling on your floor. Not for sure if this is going to be a new way of modeling, is this temporary?
That is a beautiful engine, however for the money they charge, I would like a little more detail. Example ...these are much better looking and have more detail than there anniversary set...go figure. I have a Lionel legacy Santa Fe #19 with impeccable detail.
If there is sound in each locomotive the sounds must be distinct, or they will mute or cancel each other out. Someone at Lionel will have to record and edit more audio of real E8 s.
Lionel has done this before. I’ve got a Santa Fe F3 A-B-B-A set from 2018. The powered A and powered B both have the same sound set (the Superbass B has a totally different sound set) but they tuned the two differently/slightly different pitches so there wouldn’t be that resonance. The set sounds fantastic.

Don’t need the packaging; don’t need the plastic wrap; don’t need the instructions. Just get to the engine!! Hahaha you’re great!😅
nice locos you got i like the color of the a and b unit.

I love buying trains budgets are expensive but I still have a good amount of buying trains and more model train goodies! 😎
"Discreet packaging", ha ha ha, how many times have I been there and done that? Very beautiful E8's
Kudos on the smell being a 12 on the 1-10 scale🤣 Great buy!
Amazing opening Ben. Thnx for sharing.

Cool Engine's 😃
I like e units. Missed out on some Pennsylvania e units a while back. I enjoyed your video.
Fantastic!!!
The excitement is Amazing and Contageous!! I love it. Who else waits on the little brown truck with anticipation?? YES!!
I shortened my bike ride Saturday because I knew the brown truck was coming and they needed my signature! Will post unboxing of Lionel F19 this week.
And the orange box inside the package or under the Christmas tree! 🚂!!
Certainly eye openers ! Thanks Ben 👍
Another entertaining reveal. Those are beautiful locos. You did good Ben.
Oh, and yes, I ordered the Lionel Chessie Greenbrier as well, waiting for the matching passenger cars
"sneak trains into the house" LOL... Always love your videos, great looking E9's and love the color!!! -Ken
if you cut a little of the tape on the bottom it will slide out more easily.
Gorgeous set Ben! Have the Amtrak "patch " debut AA set. Remember to Breathe Brother Breathe.😁 "Big ups 👍 from Chicago "Train Dawg"!
beautiful units, possibly a little long for my lay out..
Cool train, but not gonna lie. Was hoping to see Titan again. :)
Pretty sweet man!!!
I love your channel!

I've never seen that color before very nice
They look beautiful Ben! The color is amazing!😊
They are great!
Nice unboxing!! Those came out great.
You're smiling like a butcher's dog when you're opening it. Love it !
Wow love the color! They look amazing
THOSE ARE THE BOMB!!!! CONGRATS BEN. 🙂
Amazing! I've seen a couple videos of the NYC version. Yours shows the colors most accurately imo.
Yea I worked really hard to get the lighting just right just in case someone was thinking about getting them. Thank you! 🫡
Dude, love that color!They will be highly sought after.
Those E8’s are fire 🔥 Train World box filled with orange box goodness.🤣🤣🤣
Question , do they come with the center cabless engine That goes between the two engines???
That is a beautiful engine, however for the money they charge, I would like a little more detail. Example ...these are much better looking and have more detail than there anniversary set...go figure. I have a Lionel legacy Santa Fe #19 with impeccable detail.

👍👍Very nice!🚂🚂
The great thing about trains is, you don’t need to grow up to enjoy them.
Amazing review!!
They look great!
What kind of smoke do you use ?
Thankfully it’s not the Christmas version 😂
You never know what may show up here! 😂
Where do you get the trainz from
And is it even available?
It would be nice if the shells were die cast and not plastic.
Great video....never gets old! You a pilot?
They look awesome
