I'm fortunate to live 25 minutes from Jim Thorpe, so I can go see the gorge train anytime I want. I wanted to get this set from lionel, but RBMN repainted the blue cars years ago. It's not the current scheme, which is why I struggled whether or not to get this set. In the end, I passed on it. It's still a gorgeous and I wish you many years happiness with it.
Thats cool! I was curious why when i rode the train it didn't have the scheme that this train was. That makes sense now! It would've been nice if the 2 add on cars were the red scheme thats current
Reason for the hancock whistle is because the RBMN 426 now RBMN 5033 used to have a hancock whistle on it. I don't know why the railroad added it. But when i was working there before going to BNSF. When the unit was renumbered back to 5033. I think it was removed then and back in freight service more sitting in the deadline at Penobscot.
The strange horn I believe is the air whistle that the caboose has when they run the train backwards. They use to operate that train in a push pull service and the caboose would need a warning whistle, hence the sound.
There also an aux 3 feature that has the station master at Jim Thorpe telling people to stand behind the yellow line. It’s a pretty cool set. Only issue I had is for whatever reason they skipped car #214. They did 211, 212, 213, 215, 216, little strange. Also for your reference the R&N stopped running this version of this train around 2015 era, and just replaced it with their R&N fleet with their GP-40 diesels. Last time I was there I think all of the blue cars have finally been painted red, they lingered for a while though. Enjoy!

Nice showcase of this set. I couldn't tell but are the pilots on the locomotive kinematic or fixed? The trucks didn't look like they were attached to the pilot.
Bro, please stop moving the camera back and forth so much and so fast. We're going to get motion sickness and not be able to watch. Get a camera stand/mount of some kind and gently move from one "scene" to another.
6:03 I think that 5th whistle is supposed to be the air whistle that the caboose uses when it reverses
Nice set . Looks nice running with the number it passenger cars that it comes with .
I like Horn # 4 and the Bell that it comes with
What I like about Lionel is they make sets of lesser known railroads.
Great review! Like the unboxing music. We tend to model what we see. "Big ups 👍 from Chicago "Train Dawg "!

Deeble is Correct, the whistle is not on the 5033 (426) anymore.
Great vid

The whistle on the cabooses is just a simple air whistle not that one on the set.
Nice
Thank you!

Thanks! The engine does have kinematic pilots
@@dashingdanstrains no problem and thanks for the clarification.
