Another awesome video MARTYE!!!! I have the TMCC versions and really like them too…these are a real big presence on the layout….and as you stated, no chuff no puff just pure power!!!! AWESOME….keep em comin!!!!
Thanks Laz! I love my S-2 . It is just a beast and operates great. I'm so glad I found one at the Warehouse sale. After the disappointment of not getting one when released it was a nice surprise.
I want to thank everyone for one of the fastest viewed videos on my channel! I'm really appreciate the support! Keep the comments coming, good or bad, I'd like to know to improve.
Cool video! I particularly enjoyed the multiple angles you set the camera at as it looped the layout. I have one of these and the potential for rust due to the Styrofoam improper cure was certainly a bummer. Mine showed no significant issue, aside from possibly very minor evidence on a single screw under the chassis, so I kept it as I had wanted one of these for a very long time. To this day I've never put it back in the box though, feeling a bit nervous wondering if something could still happen due to the Styrofoam. One minor comment on the historical info: The 1991 version (6-18010) wasn't TMCC equipped, as TMCC wasn't out until a few years after that (~ 1996 IIRC for the first few TMCC engines). There was however another Scale Turbine offered in 2001 Volume 2 (6-38028), that version did of course include TMCC. Again, very nice video/review!
Holy cow your right! It was conventional. TMCC was till a few years off! Thanks for keeping me honest. Also thanks for the compliments. I try on my small layout the best I can.
That first scale S-1 TURBINE that LIONEL came out with along with an all brass N-8 CABOOSE back in the early nineties was not a T-M-C-C equipped engine it was a conventional runner - TMCC was not in production at that time!!!!
Great looking train. I love the glowing fire pan. Very fun. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Definitely a nice locomotive. I hope Lionel re-issues it. The ash pan glow is one of my favorite Lionel features.

Very nice locomotive Marty! The single rod on the drivers reminds me of James and Edward from Thomas 👍 - Ryan
Thanks for watching. I was always intrigued by the rods on the side as well.
I love it Marty! I have about 14 of the postwar versions. Beautiful looking engine!
Thanks. Sometime soon I’ll be doing a Century Club 1 series. I’ll have the CC1 671 that I’m holding on that video.

Amazing! I have a RailKing Semi Scale Turbine with Proto Sound 3.
I think the Turbine is a true classic. Whether Scale or not it's a really cool engine.
Yes, I just wish you'd put more cars behind the locomotives! 🚂
My layout isn't that big. I
I'd forgotten about the water issue. The engine looks just fine. Wish I had gotten one... come on reissue
Yep. SOme of the picture when they came out were pretty scarry.

Someone else mentioned that as well. Thanks for watching and keeping me honest.
Just grabbed a tmcc polar express speeder and the doors open on it i have a lionel 682 turbine
The speeders although lacking features are still fun.
Correction an S-2 turbine.
