Whenever I see movie mistakes like that with the train in Polar Express I just use the fact that it's a magic train as an excuse, and I mean it technically works😂
@@jamesf791 I don't use that excuse, because logic and physics in the least is assumed to be and should present within the movie world and should match up with the logic and physics of the real world, I just don't like to use that for anything whether movie or show or cartoon
This set truly makes this time of year feel a little more like Christmas! Thanks for showcasing this sharp set RJ! I think I am going to have to bite the bullet and find one for myself now!!
Thanks for another great video to welcome the Christmas holiday season, RJ! Couldn't be more appropriate than having the Polar Express running around a tree in the living room. Great quality on the video, too, from a smart phone. I didn't think you could get that kind of quality from a smart phone. When I commented on the sound on the video before this one, I unintentionally sounded ungrateful for your efforts. Nothing could be further from the truth! I admire your enthusiasm, taking the time research the history and your always cheerful attitude. You always share a great O gauge train experience with your fans. Thanks a lot!
I have the first GEN conventional Polar Express. And while it is very simple compared to the LC version it was also under $200 back in the day. So mine only running at Christmas it not over used.....but still a very nice looking, running set. You did well going with the LC set as the scale, nice loco, is WAY too much for me anyway! Thx
This set makes Christmas. I picked it up last year, only downside is wanting all the add ons which required a bigger layout around the tree haha. Thought about the legacy version but wasn't a fan of the cars or the price just for a Christmas train. May upgrade to the newer engine in the future if they happen to make it again
I've got one of the original sets from 2004/5. There was a dock worker's strike in CA that year and they were hard to get but my dad got one. It runs great. Just has an air whistle. I've got all the extra cars and I will say, pulling all those cars, up steep hills, and at track speed did burn the motor up. I know they had issue with the first PE's motors but I'm sure I didn't help matters. Glad you finally got one. One more thing. Unless they have changed it, the decorative whistle on the engine breaks off very easily. I broke mine off with in the first few years I had it. Merry Christmas!
Hi RJ ..Just found you and Im a subscriber now .. You are doing such a great job...Love your presentations ... and they will only get better I know .. great great layout..I share your love of trains real and model ... dont ever ever give them both up ....
Congratulations on the Polar Express RJ! It is the epitome of Christmas trains. You have an awesome layout filled with lots of ideas. Merry Christmas RJ. Can hardly wit to see what's next! The scene going around the Christmas tree was fantastic, I don't know what to say.
I've been meaning to get this set for the last 2 years....Maybe next year! Great job showing it, you showed it close up too! You helped make my decision, I need this.
I have a few berks in my collection. I have one lionel 736 the rest is MTH.The first is a railing Erie berkshire.Next is a C&O berkshire.Next is the L &N big Emma number 1967.The year I checked in this world.I have another C&O this one has sound.I have other steamers mountain type and northerns.The first railing C&O pulled a freight train of 42 boxcars.If you want to check it out its at 889ts. I was in a model home at the time.Or check out other trains at eric oxner I have a santa fe Northern pulling a freight train.I would love to get my hand on a scale 1225.But I feel like you I can not see dropping almost 2 grand for one locomotive.
A “family friend” bought a PWC 773 Hudson that he let a friend convince him was junk. My Dad bought it and 14 years later all we’ve had to do to it was oil, Lube, and new tires
How do you get that much volume from the sound? I have mine set at maximum volume and you can’t hear the chuff or whistle or Tom hanks announcements when the train is moving!
Great video!! Do you have any idea what the width and height of this train is. Id like to see if it fits in my covered bridge but haven't purchased this train yet. Couldn't find anywhere online. Thank you so much!!!🙏
Great video! How many movies quotes are there? I heard 4, but on mine I have 2 that repeat often. Also, I just put it together and am a total noob to this lol
I must admit, I had a bit too much fun with the voice recording and live cast feature several times on the local shop train set 😂 Glad to see you got one man, enjoy!
Hi does it need the track to light up? I want to put a couple of cars on my son's bookshelf display and dont need the whole set. but want it to light up at night like a nightlight for him. thanks
I’ve never had that problem but if you overload the smoke unit I’m sure it will leak. Just like everything else you should read the instructions before operating. I love my set and it is awesome
Anyone know how to get back the sounds on this 2021 Lionchief Polar Express? The sounds worked for the last week and now as of this morning, 12/18/2022, no more sounds and can't find anything on forums, Google or RUclips on how to attempt a fix for this. I've tried the Bluetooth app, replacing remote controls batteries, disconnecting the engine from the coal tenders connections with both power on and off. Still nothing.
When our sounds worked on our 2021 Lionchief Polar Express the sounds can lowered. I found it easiest via the Bluetooth App on our Android phone. I say "when the sounds worked" because it's only the second Christmas we took it out to place under the tree. It worked for the last week and now as. of this morning no more sounds and can't find anything on forums, Google or RUclips on how to attempt a fix for this.
I just bought this set and it is great. My engine doesn't puff out as near as much smoke as yours? That have somthing to do with the brand smoke you used? Anyways, great review!
Yes, that brand of smoke fluid is usually fresher than the lionel or mth brand, often because the bottle may sit in the set's box for many, many months and be stale. Gary
I'm so happy the scale legacy version isn't exactly accurate to the movie😂, only happy because I don't have the urge to drop over a grand on it, the legacy version is more like the real life train, but not as accurate to the movie version as the 2.0 or 5.0, like the legacy version doesn't even have a whistle, like c'mon
Awsum. Train I think I’m going to buy one tomorrow I’m sure my wife will kill me But she’ll forget soon enough I’ve seen it at my local train store it’s. Wicked kool 🚂❤️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Considering that this HO scale train is smaller than my G-scale locomotive i will say that it has more features than my G-scale one you might not see this comment cause this video is 2 years old
I feel your man I feel you I understand how it was as a kid Well , I would say since your parents and your dad's friend said that the polar express is a piece of garbage , I say that they're just a bunch of sore losers for saying that!
Or if you did not like what I said. I'm sorry I really feel your pain since your parents refused to buy you. The original Polar express set as a kid since they thought it was a piece Of Junk You might agree with me on this.They seem like A bunch of drugs for thinking that way!

The train every time it passes: “OF THE NORTH POLE!”

A pretty good deal for less than four bills! AND you get a silver bell you can hear!

been wanting a polar express from lionel for years. Amazon has this set for 256 bucks. The time is now.
220 Amazon happy Xmas in july
i think a lot of train guys are fullfilling childhood desires , i no i am .
A “family friend” bought a PWC 773 Hudson that he let a friend convince him was junk. My Dad bought it and 14 years later all we’ve had to do to it was oil, Lube, and new tires
I wish I could get it by tomorrow for Christmas🌟🎄
Just a fun set to have
im hoping to get the same train for Christmas nice
\
It is a great train set!
@@rj.trains I can hear your dog barking at something in the background
Thank you for sharing 😀
0:04 Although the phrases are correct in movie accurate however the whistle wasn’t so I think lion chief made a slight error in the programming
How do you get that much volume from the sound? I have mine set at maximum volume and you can’t hear the chuff or whistle or Tom hanks announcements when the train is moving!
Mine is also really soft, I believe if you push all three buttons and move the throttle it will increase the sound. You can also adjust it in the app.
You got a great price on it!😺
Nice Polar Express.👍
I’d love to own one of these gigantic miniature railways
Trains is what I like
Great video!! Do you have any idea what the width and height of this train is. Id like to see if it fits in my covered bridge but haven't purchased this train yet. Couldn't find anywhere online. Thank you so much!!!🙏
Great video! How many movies quotes are there? I heard 4, but on mine I have 2 that repeat often. Also, I just put it together and am a total noob to this lol
Hi, is there a on/off switch to turn off the smoke unit? Does the smoke also puff out of the sides of the locomotive?
RJ's~ How ar you?- enjoyed~ that is well video-work~:))
I must admit, I had a bit too much fun with the voice recording and live cast feature several times on the local shop train set 😂 Glad to see you got one man, enjoy!

Nice video!
Thanks!
Just bought this!
Love the video.
Can you add track pieces I’m looking for one but wanna make it kinda longer track and kinda over a little hump
What is the radius of the curves?? How long is that layout?? What are the dimensions....if I may ask. Nice train set by the way
Does your polar express have smoke that comes out around the drive cylinders?
Hi does it need the track to light up? I want to put a couple of cars on my son's bookshelf
display and dont need the whole set. but want it to light up at night like a nightlight for him.
thanks
Yes you need the track in order for the train to light up. If you buy the full set it comes with everything you need.
I’ve read in other videos that the smoker sometimes leaks, did you find this issue? Also any other buyer bewares or is it an all around awesome set?
I’ve never had that problem but if you overload the smoke unit I’m sure it will leak. Just like everything else you should read the instructions before operating. I love my set and it is awesome

Hello! Do you have the website where you bought this? Thank you!
RJ - does the engine produce smoke like that out of the box? Seems so much better than the original Polar Express.
Thank you for the video! I just couldn’t tell which scale is it. Does anybody know?
O Scale
Is that # 2123130 set ?
Where did you buy this and how much
I have a question does the set come with 5 passenger cars or 3 or do u have to order them separately
It comes with 3, I bought two additional ones
Is it always that loud? I'm thinking of buying this train but want one that can be quiet. Does it have a mute button?
Yes it does

Excuse me, do the 5 wagons come in the set?
The set comes with three coach cars, the other two were purchased separately
Can that one can be run off track power as well?
It can only be run using electricity from the track
Scale?
O
I just bought this set and it is great. My engine doesn't puff out as near as much smoke as yours? That have somthing to do with the brand smoke you used?
