This engine is a Pere Marquette Bershire and they traded the Marquette tender with a legacy polar express tender this was a really popular thing to do cause i got the 10th anniversary 2014 legacy polar express 6-11451, it has whistle steam and and lot of features that are not in the 2017
I grew up reading the polar express book also. Make sure you get the RPO. Just got my RPO back from Lionel, they’ll swap the shell so it matches prior PE releases
Great set. I wanted this set for my kids but it was out of my price range so I made them a polar express set from an MTH Berkshire and Madison cars: it came out very cool. There’s some vids of it here on RUclips listed under MTH polar express
Chris, your luck to have this set, looks and sounds amazing!!! I’ve seen quite a few of your videos and I have to apologize, I never subscribed until I saw Matt’s video after he came back from PA showing his prizes and seeing all of you together running trains, so I’m sorry but you too have hooked me. BTW Your layout is great!!! Though I model N scale now (ya, at 70 that’s hard on the eyes, LOL), I always have (since I was 2), and always will love all scales of trains, Thanks Much, Ron
That is a great set, Chris. I'm glad you found it. Are you considering getting the cars with the white roofs? I've not actually seen them in person, but from what I have seen they are pretty nice as well. Bill B.
I love this Lionel scale polar express train especially the 2017 version I would like it for Christmas.🎄🎁
I love seeing the elevation change you have on your layout adds alot to the realism
Very nice!
Enjoy!
Nice to see the Polar Express running, thanks Chris
That hobo is eating some serious smoke from that fire!
Great set. I’d love to own one.
Awesome train! Looks fantastic. Thanks for sharing. Dave
Excelente video abrazo grande muy buen modelo

Wow!
Thats just the Pere Marquette 1225 with a polar express tender. Reminds me of what 1225 looked like in 2004.
An FM trainmaster h22-66 or a GE p42 would be a great diesel(s) option
Can't wait for 2 rail version

Thanks for the kind words and joining the channel!
I want the new version of the Polar Express to have the whistle steam smoke effect.
What are your thoughts on The Polar Express movie?
It’s interesting. My kids love it so that’s what counts.
That is a great set, Chris. I'm glad you found it. Are you considering getting the cars with the white roofs? I've not actually seen them in person, but from what I have seen they are pretty nice as well. Bill B.
Bill - since this set came with black roofs I think I’ll just continue to collect the black roof ones.
How did Sid get it? I need to know.
He didn’t. I got it from Train Depot.

The engine doesn't look right
He just got the actual Polar Express loco about a month ago and made a video on it as well
