Wow. A win-win-win. I watched this eating breakfast today. Excellent John. Congratulations buddy. Now….just a few more to go in 2023! Cannot wait to see them in person.
hey I know where this is, this is at the Columbia historical preservation society. I've been there a couple times over the years, a friend of mine is a member of the club that operates the O gauge layout
Yes, you are correct , that is where most of my videos come from . We have changed the look of the downstairs to clean and brighten it up a little this past year . Big improvements .
89 and 90 are amazing, why did you clutter it up with that crap engine 31. I wish no one bought that one so Lionel could know what a piece of crap anything 31 is!
Thank you for the feedback yes 89 and 90 are beautiful and well I cluttered it up with 31 because it was handy , its a great running model . I could have used 972 , 98 , the 772 camelback 1252 dockside or one of the diesels 33 , 1 , or 8618 that were all here but 😮 I did manage to at least get Thomas in there 😂 As a hobbyist I'm ok with models that aren't pure and exact , but the ones that are have been very limited . Would I prefer everything to be exact replicas absolutely but its impractical so I get what I can and I'm happy with it . Once there's an accurate 31 it will be here in this collection as well .
@@johnh.toytrainfanatic5300 90 is the best engine ever to ride Strasburg. 475 and 89 are amazing too. But I never understood why anyone likes 31. It is an ugly 0-6-0 switcher. I am glad it is out of commission and hope it will never run again. Truthfully the railroad should just scrap it and use it as a parts engine for 90. The model is horrible too with that ugly tender. Just not a 31 fan and I hope those who remember it vanish away. 90 is amazing, I love the look of the model. One of the best Lionel engines ever made. Show more of that and none of 31. Go 90!!! Lol.
