I'm so happy. My new Legacy C&O and UP H7s finally arrived at my local dealer. As a C&O and UP fan, I couldn't pass up on them. The new C&O F19 Pacific's are on the way and will be here very soon. I'm going to send my H7s and F19s to my friend in Florida, who will be painting and decorating the cab interiors since Lionel didn't bother doing that.
Eric, been a bit since I dropped a note. Good thing about the open house is that it forces you to get things organized and cleaned up as we all get lazy. On another point my 22 year old daughter watches some of your videos with me and prefers when you use "big" knives to unbox. Hope the open house and wedding planning going well. Merry Christmas 🧑🎄
I got the NPR Berk 777 as well and completely agree it's absolutely gorgeous and it looks great running around your layout - Awesome all around as always Eric!
those seaboard units are GORGEOUS...the clear shell is especially neat the rf&p h7 is really cool, especially being from virginia (i railfan the rf&p regularly) overall GREAT choices on everything ...such incredible stuff
Eric the new appalachin and Western locomotive I just got from Legacy is awesome! They really did a great job on it. I have all three A&W Eric’s locomotives and caboose’s now. They look great on the layout
Gotta say i love having your channel on when i work on making a Train Tycoon Game, the variaty of trains you review gives me the best form of scope creep ! well done Erik
Lionel's gimmick trains have always been cool. I'm digging the Glow in the dark stuff. My favorite gimmick cars growing up were the Girrafe "ducking" car, the mint gold bar cars, and the Erie hobo gondola.It's been years, but i love watching all the newer Lionel videos on youtube. That 777 in pretty unique.
Hi Eric, I really enjoy your videos including this one! They are very informative... pros and cons of the products, etc. and overall just cool to watch! I especially like you're demos and reviews on the new Menards Engines. Can you do continue to do videos on Menards and Williams budget friendly products too for O Scale persons like myself, who too enjoy the hobby but are on a more limited budget... Thx!
Man that NPR Birk is awesome! I also love that Seaboard demonstrator set cause of how unique and unusual it is. I like it better for the fact that it actually existed in real life! That glow in the dark set would be a perfect one to run at an open house with the lights off, maybe for 2025 open house? Great video Eric!
Very nice, Eric. Those locomotives are just fine. I'm a big fan of the Slant-nose E-units. I think that they are even better looking than the PA's. Either way, each one a nice addition to the layout. It would be cool to come down and see the layout in person, but there is just too much going on, this time of year. Have a great Thanksgiving. An excellent video, as always.
hi eric i hope your open house goes well i enjoyed your opening new engines those display cases are great . i have to build some cases for my engines i do agree with you being homeless well have a great day on saturday.
If you know someone with a 3d resin printer, you should have them print passengers for the halloween cars out of a clear resin. There are also transparent yellow light blue and green resins
As posted elsewhere, I’d like to see the H7 and the 2-8-8-2 Y3 side-by-side. Since I run American Flyer, I’m depending on you Lionel 3-railers to cough up the cash for that comparison since the H7 isn’t available in American Flyer …. BETTER YET… let’s have ALL of Lionel’s articulated locomotives side-by-side, with a non-articulate Northern as the “reference”!
Love the laylut!!!! Anyone else having issues with their electro couplers on their legacy trains randomly opening (as if i presswd the couoler button to open them, noise and all) woth out commanding it? I just received my legacy Polar express 20 anni and it keeps on opening its coupler un commanded.
I wanted to get the H7 in Rio Grande paint from Lionel this catalog but when you look closer the the details are all wrong. I understand they tried to appeal to Rio Grande guys like myself but unfortunately I just am either going to have to deal with the inaccuracies or just stick to diesels. A shame really. I would have loved to get a L class steamer
Any idea why my local train store hasn’t received locomotives ordered from 2-3 years ago? I’ve been waiting for the LC 0-6-0t and my favorite store (located in Crown Point IN) still hasn’t received any of them!
Great video love the trains in this video:) (question that anyone can answer I am getting an Ho Triplex should I try to find an MTH version or Lionel?)
Eric's trains I'm just letting you know that entertrainment Junction is closing its doors permanently in January 2025 I highly suggest you go down and visit it you will not be disappointed in all the trains that they have
Now if they would actually make ore cars painted for the DM&IR. I’ve posted multiple times on Menards forums about that with no reply. Companies that have made 3 rail O gauge ore cars painted for the DM&IR want sky high prices for them, especially with how small the cars are. SMH.
I really enjoyed this video. The pacing and the variety made it a great watch. Also, those new lionel engines look awesome.
Glad you enjoyed it!

You sound like an excited kid getting everything you want in each x-mas present you open. I think it great.
The 777 locomotive is BEAUTIFUL!!
I love the "burbling" sound that the E6s make.
The Halloween train is super- cool looking!
Thanks for sharing.

That Blu & Silver Berkshire is absolutely gorgeous

There are so many great creators out there on RUclips,but you still are the champion.777 is stunningly beautiful
777 is georgeous. The glow in the dark will look better if you charge them with some really good UV light.
That NKP 777 looks unbelievable!
ruclips.net/video/98_K-y2jiOU/видео.html
Whooooey!!!! That blue Burk is a beautiful lover 😘❤️ 😉
CONGRATULATIONS!! AND HAPPY NEW YEAR FOR YOURS FAMILY, FROM MONTEVIDEO URUGUAY, SOUTH AMÉRICA!!
Thanks!
They're all super nice, but the Berk is stunning. Have a great open house Eric!
Thanks so much!
I got the NPR Berk 777 as well and completely agree it's absolutely gorgeous and it looks great running around your layout - Awesome all around as always Eric!
ruclips.net/video/98_K-y2jiOU/видео.html
I'm loving the new trains! My favorites are the Seaboard diesels, the blue & silver Berkshire, the articulated #1, and I love the coaches.
That blue berkshire is so beautiful! You've got your hands full Eric! Looking forward to the reviews!
Those are some great new looking engines for your collection, wish I could attend your open house,
Wow, that berk is GORGEOUS! Thanks bro!

the rf&p h7 is really cool, especially being from virginia (i railfan the rf&p regularly)
overall GREAT choices on everything ...such incredible stuff
Awesome!
The NPR, Seaboard Demo, & RF&P are excellent choices as they will probably be highly collectable and sought after locomotives
Eric the new appalachin and Western locomotive I just got from Legacy is awesome! They really did a great job on it. I have all three A&W Eric’s locomotives and caboose’s now. They look great on the layout

The demonstrator set looks really cool! I love how it says boldly DIESEL right on the front. Classy!
Nickel Plate 777 reminds me of Transformers (1985 toy) Astrotrain. Nice mix of purplish blue with silver. And it sounds awesome!
ruclips.net/video/98_K-y2jiOU/видео.html
Planning on coming tomorrow! We are coming from Birmingham. Looking forward to seeing your layout!
Hope you enjoy it!
Nice music you used in this video! Goes great with your layout!
Thanks
Excellent great Video! Thumns Up!.👍
Awesome new train item's Eric!!!
That “Blue Bird” Berk is stunning!

Man I gotta see ur layout soon every time I see it in vids it looks killer!
As I am sitting here in bed watching this great video, I am working on a MTH New York Central work caboose and gluing small parts back on it. ❤❤
Every video you post keeps getting better! I really enjoy these a lot 😊
I’ll be picking up my 777 and my B&O AB set with Superbass next Friday! Good to see the 777 preview…
ruclips.net/video/98_K-y2jiOU/видео.html
Wow what an awesome day for you! I noticed your paint booth and really liked how big it was. Can you shed some light on it please?
Can wait to see the layout, great review thanks
Nice pickup on the Halloween Cars for the Triplex and the 777 Berk
Love the rf&p h7. Really bummed i couldn't afford it right now with the other engines i have coming
That Halloween set is the coolest thing I’ve put my eyes on in the hobby world in a long time.
It's really cool
OMG..that blue NKP 777 is gorgeous
The triple 7 has to be the best looking locomotive 🎉🎉🎉 😮😮😮😮

Thats a big spray booth! WOW!
another A+ job
Wow...Amazing..and..informative..thanks..for..sharing..

Good Work On The Video. 😊👍🏼
I love that 777 berk! Looks so good I might have to get one! Is it silver or a very light gold? Also I liked the music during the unboxings!
ruclips.net/video/98_K-y2jiOU/видео.html
Sadly, I won't be visiting your layout, but I will be going to a Eastern Maine Model Railroad Club Train Show in Brewer, ME that day.
Very perfect 🚂🚆🚂🚂🚆🚆🚂🚂🚆🚆🚂🚂🚂🚆🚆🚂🚂🚂 trains 🚂
Appreciated 🚂
How loud and deep does the Berk sound? Thinking of buying the 777.Looks amazing.
If i had known..... i live in charlotte, and if it werent for my club having our layout set up at the southern christmas show, id have been there
You’ve got a good wife
I do!

Seeing that 777, I really hope Lionel makes a new Crusader one of these days. I think the last one came from K-Line.
Great video! Have a great open house and can we have a patrion stream after the bridge is installed so you can show it off to us first?
Sure thing!
One day, I'll get that beautiful NKP 777 blue and silver Berkshire, that's got to be best paint scheme then other lionel trains in my opinion.
Love the laylut!!!!
Anyone else having issues with their electro couplers on their legacy trains randomly opening (as if i presswd the couoler button to open them, noise and all) woth out commanding it? I just received my legacy Polar express 20 anni and it keeps on opening its coupler un commanded.
Couldn't make it to your open house eric but I wish you good luck
The 777 is amazing!! What are your final thoughts on the Halloween passenger cars?
Thank You for the Christmas I will never have.😂
I couldn’t stop laughing 8:25 hope no one does a pee their pants lol

Do you have any Delaware and Hudson engines or rolling stock ?
That bridge is 15-16 years old already? I vaguely remember watching a vide with that bridge in it when I was just a wee lad.
Time flys, huh?
15 years and "showing it's age"? It looks like a 50-year bridge to me.
Any idea why my local train store hasn’t received locomotives ordered from 2-3 years ago? I’ve been waiting for the LC 0-6-0t and my favorite store (located in Crown Point IN) still hasn’t received any of them!
Maybe try calling the store vs asking a RUclipsr 🤦🏻♂️
@ I have and he has no clue why it’s been so long
hi eric trains
Good Lord. You have a crap load of trains! I enjoy your videos.
Thanks!
Is the alternate boiler front has a wires for the headlight & Mars light on the Berkshire locomotive or they didn't add it?
They didn't do it on this one.
can you pick your own train set
Great video love the trains in this video:) (question that anyone can answer I am getting an Ho Triplex should I try to find an MTH version or Lionel?)
Only MTH makes a HO Triplex!
I wonder how that berk would look like with some nickel plate limited passenger cars
Is there any people in those Halloween passenger cars besides the ghosts?
If Lionel does a brightline train set would you get it?
sure
Maybe next year I will go to your open houses
I’ll would love to see your collection 🚂”;-)”
Please do!
Eric's trains I'm just letting you know that entertrainment Junction is closing its doors permanently in January 2025 I highly suggest you go down and visit it you will not be disappointed in all the trains that they have

Hey Eric do you know what today is my birthday Eric.
Cats in the bedroom.
Hi Eric been a big fan for a long time. Do you have a link to the storage shelves that you are using? Does something that's readily available thanks
God I hate being poor. Poverty sucks.
But hot damn do those trains look good.
HEY IT'S NOT CHRISTMAS WHAT ARE YOU DOING OPEN UP ALL YOUR PRESENTS LOL

@Ericstrains YOU'RE GOING TO NEED A BIGGER HOUSE LOL
Locomotives safe from being stuffed in a puffy coat.

New Chinese junk,lmfao
