Absolutely! It was insanely cool to be able to unbox one of these at a Lionel Store. I'm so happy you got one too! These pilots are absolutely incredible!! Happy Railroading!!🚂🦁
Thanks Timothy! National Lionel Train Day was so much fun and I can't wait for next year! These locomotives are some if not the best looking locomotive in the world! Happy Railroading 🚂!
Picked up my 2000s version Tuesday absolutely love it!! I tip my cap off to lionel for the packaging design. No broken parts at all came off during shipping or during the unboxing. I really hope they will pack future brass hybrid models like this going forward! Great video
You said it! I got the 1990s version too and both variations are absolutely incredible!! The level of care they took in the packaging ensured these locomotives arrived safe without any issues. When packing these locomotives, ensure the cab windows are folded in. Sometimes they get caught and can pop off but how Lionel designed them it makes it easy to pop them back in. I hppe so too! Brass Hybrids are some of the best locomotives out there!!
I agree with you here. Overall Lionel has improved over the years and this model required the extra layers of protection. This type of packaging is very similar to the VL GEVO and 0-8-8-0 Switcher. Happy Railroading!
I love the mosaic tile wall in the background, spelling Lionel Electric Trains! 😃
Its incredible! It is one of the highlights of the store and a true piece of art! Happy Railroading!
It was cool seeing you unbox this in person! Glad I got one too!

That is gonna get my attention
It's definitely an eye catcher!👀🚂
Wow! The unpainted Pilot model is breathtaking. And only 10 of them made this way? That's crazy! Good for you.
It absolutely is! It's truly a beautiful model and can't believe we have one! Thank you and happy railroading!🚂🦁
Now if that could start implementing that style packing with all the other locomotives 😉

Congratulations! 'Hope to acquire an unpainted brass hybrid one day.
Thank you! There were only 10 of these produced so the thrill of the hunt begins! Good luck and Happy Railroading!
I am glad to see that the handle bar supports are plastic. Those things always tend to break on me.
Good catch. I haven't really looked at the model so I'll need to check those out! Happy Railroading!!
