Fun fact: the Pere Marquette 1225 is the exact train The Polar Express is based on so technically you have The Polar Express Also where did you buy this I need it in my life right now
Your new Pere Marquette is on e good looking engine. I enjoyed the sounds and crew talk. Lionel put a lot of detail in there Berkshire engines. I have the NKP 759 Berkshire. Thanks for sharing one great looking engine. Greetings Nick from New Jersey
@@railfanjackson4531 Yes. It's been one issue after another. At this point, I'd rather get something else than having to put up with all these issues and then maybe get it again a few months from now.
I have the 2008 version and I was planning on getting the 2018 version but after seeing the problems from other channels im sticking with the 2008 model
Well the pride of the fleet has arrived anyways cool model the sounds are nice and Happy New Year also nice pere Marquette coaches look good behind 1225
@@MPT_Productions I am so so so so sorry about it breaking. That is so sad. If I ever get problems with my train, I go to The Train Shoppe. They fix them good and well.
haha Thanks. Happy New Year to you too. It'll be going back to Lionel because it's just one problem after the next so the future of the 1225 is unknown.
Amazing model. My dad has the Legacy Polar Express from 2014. However I really do want a Legacy Berk. Also where did you get those PM coaches, they look great behind 1225.
Matt’s Trains thanks a lot! These Berkshires are some of the most detailed O Scale Locomotives out there with very good sounds! I got them at a local hobby shop. They were the only ones there.
Hi there. I am new to the hobby and just bought an o-scale train. Like you I want to run a fasttrack or realtrax layout on the floor. How did you do your feeder wires for on the carpet?
Is that layout not in need of any bus or feeders? Is that just one fasttrack piece with the wires, hooked to a "x" watt transformer, plugged into the wall, and run? I am hoping to avoid soldering or if needed figure out how to do it on the floor hidden under the fasttrack. Thank you for your time, I appreciate it!
Still-Plays-with- Trains Lol I thought so. Maybe this will help: www.lionelsupport.com/ReplacementParts/index.cfm?setID=&productID=&doAction=productFilter&q=6-84693&match=0
It's hard to decide if I want the 1225 or the 765 in the future the 1225 can be transferred into the poler Express with the Poler Express tender but I love bolth whistles. I think I'm going with 1225 it has more ability for options and you cant go wrong with the poler Express
Ya and anyways I ordered something from the lionel 2019 cadolag so it's a perfect time to save up money for the passenger cars for it and save money up for a 2-8-4 locomotive
Hold up... wasn't in the 2008 college volume one with a gs2 daylight and a taxes Special if it is im was little Curious How good this is and does it still hold up in 2020 if it is the 2008 one
2018 and this was a piece of junk. Had to get sent back at least 4 times and I finally got a refund. I will never buy another lionel product after this kind of quality and recommend others do the same.
@@thehind3119 No problem. I tell it as it is so others know. I do not do model trains anymore. I save that money for camera gear and to go on train trips with real steam. Those trips and seeing real steam is far more exciting/enjoyable than the models in my opinion.
@@malanadhu5828 Well yes, and no. Pere Marquette 1225 was used as the base model for the movie, "The Polar Express" and actually wore polar express lettering on the tender for a little while. However the Steam Railroading Institute, the owners of 1225, lost licensing to name the excursion the polar express for the winter, so they improvised. They named the excursion "The North pole Express" and they run the excursion every winter. WWW.michigansteamtrain.com

The crew talk on this engine, I just can’t stand it. It just drives me crazy and it doesn’t go very well with the model. It would’ve been better if the crew talk was only Rich Melvin and whoever that guy is who answers him. My suggestions are perfectly right about it
