Wow Shawn, that's one of the greater rail stories. Big perk when using advantage of rail- unrestricted weight and utility!
That is an awesome story and great piece of history. That engine can really smoke! Im with you, that pinstriping and the trim on the wheels look so good.
Pretty cool train. I rode a few excursions on Amtrak and Conrail with the other Atlantic from the museum, the 7002, back in the mid 80s. It was quite an experience to see an Atlantic running fast like it was meant to.
That is a great story. I'm 66 and I learned it many years ago back in grade school. Great times back then.
Lionel also made a TMCC version of the Lindberg Special #460 years before the Legacy one.
That's a great set I got mine years ago and Lionel had made extra cars that match the set.
Got a Pullman coach and an observation car both with the green trucks to match set.
Thanks......I enjoyed that!!
Really nice set, Sean! Enjoyed learning about the history of this train. Thanks for sharing! - Ryan
Wow Sean, I gotta say this is a great Video and a Great History on that Lindbergh Special, This Engine can Steam, and the trim on the Wheels are Amazing.😃👍👍
What a cool little engine!
You know, those PRR E6 engines were so successful that the Pennsy wasn't all that eager to rush into Pacific types when they became common. Steel heavyweight cars and longer trains soon forced their hand but many of the E6's still had long careers in short runs and local service. 460 ended it's service days in southern New Jersey on the Camden to Atlantic City runs.
An interesting thing about newsreels, back in those days and up to WW2 there were newsreel-only theaters in New York City, typically around Pennsylvania Station and Grand Central Terminal. If you had time to kill you popped into a newsreel theater and caught up "On the latest." I believe there were several in the Times Square area as well. I remember seeing newsreels in theaters in the 1960s but it was all over for them by 1967, TV news had made them obsolete.
Hey, as far as period-specific dialog from 460's cab how about the engineer and fireman discussing baseball scores? 1927 was the year the New York Yankees fielded the best team anyone's ever had!
Fun video Sean! Thanks for posting!
Cool story!
Amazing!!!
Sean, another great video. Thank you for sharing.
Nice video
Great video love the whistle. I also have this set the engine is a real keeper. Lionel did a great job on the deco and paint.
Neat train. Were you able to get the balloon ride to work?
Did you watch my final video of my O gauge Renovation? It works perfectly now!
What an excellent video. It was so interesting and informative. You always produce fantastic films and your knowledge is amazing. Thank you Sean 👍
p.s. With your knowledge, maybe you can give me some insight. I've tried researching the meaning of the letter and number K4...do you know ?
"K" was the Pennsy's designator for Pacific ( 4-6-2) type locomotives. "4" was the Pennsy's fourth model of a Pacific type. Obviously there were K1's through K3's but the K4 was the most successful and numerous type with around 475 being built.
@@wayneantoniazzi2706Hey Wayne...thank you. I've seen your name in the comments areas many times. I appreciate your input and helpful reply. That's why I appreciate this brotherhood of train enthusiasts. 👍
@@jimmelchin1531 You're very welcome Jim! Glad I could be of some assistance!
🙂🙂🙂🙂👍👍👍👍👍👍
Amazing story Sean, is the whistle bent??? Awesome model anyway…. Thank you, for sharing…
LOL, no the whistle on these goes off to the side.
@@seanstraindepot That’s interesting, I thought that with steam pressure it would need to be in-line. Thanks.
I know you like to keep these things all about trains, with out friction or controversy, but I think it's worth mentioning Mr. Lindbergh had a dark side, too. In spite of his accomplishment, he turned out to be very disloyal U.S. citizen. He ended the '20's a hero, but by end of the '30's, he revealed himself to be a Nazi! That's history, too!
Ha did not know that. Thanks! This is more about the Newsreel Corporation and PRR coming up with a great idea!
Really nice set, Sean! Enjoyed learning about the history of this train. Thanks for sharing! - Ryan
