Great video! Always enjoy your thoughts on the catalog.
Thanks Matt.
Great review Joker!
Thanks.
After years of searching I finally get to order a Mars light 765. So pumped
nice, congrats. I have the mars light for mine and never run it.
Thanks for the review. Enjoyed seeing all the new stuff
I’m sure you will do a video on what you do buy
I don’t collect those expensive trains I’ll just enjoy yours
You’re better off not collecting them. Your wallet will thank you 😆
Dang it Zac. I like to think I had a hand in you ordering the 20th last year and now you’re starting to get me back. 😂
You already convinced me to change out one of my normal NS ES44s for the B&O heritage last night on the Discord (he’s right by the way, we always have fun there) since I’ve seen it myself, but then you had to go and make the point it needed a normal to go with it. So now I’m looking at the COG, a normal NS, the B&O, and a normal CSX. Great video as always.
Thanks Clay. I’m happy I can help you send more money 😆
Thanks, Joker! Don't have the catalog yet, but your review is terrific!
Thanks I appreciate it.
Man you really hit the nail on the head about this catalog. I am a Lionel guy for 40 some year. Lionel makes it hard not to call out there paint and some quality issues. We won’t even go into pricing lol. Having worked in the business now retired. Guys with their predictions or wish lists for this catalog might as well have just read the dealer advanced information on what was is in the catalog. Dealers get that information 2 to 3 weeks before the catalog release 😅. You don’t have to look in your crystal ball just read the dealer advance info. Some dealers are pretty free with this information. Funny how this dealer info gets out so guys can do their predictions. 😂
I saw some of the prediction videos. I’m not a fan of those videos. But hey they get views maybe I will do one sometime 😆. Hoping Lionel gets it together on the QC side for the price they are asking. Thanks for watching. I appreciate it.
@@Jokers_Trains I think those videos are ok but when people list almost everything from dealers info it’s not right. Dealers in the past have been contacted by Lionel and been told not to provide that specific info. Take care I enjoy your videos.
Nice review!
Thanks. I appreciate it.
I love the Csx C&o problem get one , great review 👍 Tom will weather nicely,probably get some tankers great honest review b&o really nice 👍 if you’re going to Tony’s I will see you there 👍
I will be there tomorrow. Holler at me. Thanks for watching.
The sticker shock is palpable. Makes me happier to buy used locos and rolling stock and Menards' affordable freight cars.
Was really tickled to find an EP-5 electric with a horn for less than $100 the other day. No modern bells and whistles, but it runs fine and the horn goes toot-toot so I'm happy.
Nice pickup. It is pretty fun hunting a used engine down
Great video.
Thanks!
This year will definitely be a Conrail year for me, I’ll be picking up the GP9/9B and the U28C. Both are great offerings for some of us with smaller layouts.
Nice. I know there are a lot of conrail fans. Nice Lionel hooked you guys up.
I’m So happy ur getting the B&O heritage that’s why I wanted to watch you make this video 😂. I’m getting the conrail heritage.
I’m getting that for sure. I’m sure I will add more to the list.
Unless it’s black it’s gonna be painted wrong, beware!
i want some nice passanger cars but i cannot pay these prices. i'll find something second hand or pay more/similar for 3rd rail when i decide to do it. great video. love the music in the background.
Thanks man, I agree on the prices. I appreciate you watching.
Good overview. Don't sleep on the H-7. You don't want to be watching my videos of it next fall kicking yourself for not getting one lol. Im def getting at least the all black C&O one with large Vandi tender. I think the Royal Blue set and woodsided cars are a nice set. The E-6's are very nice, def a good option.
Looking forward to seeing what you end up getting.
Im just waiting on some news on a custom run. Then I will make my list.
@@Jokers_Trains let me know if you hear anything on H-7 custom runs if you could. Greatly appreciated.
@GoldStandardTrains no problem. What kinda custom are you hoping for
@@Jokers_Trains something with some color would be nice to see or another variation on the C&O. Figure if I’m getting the “murdered” out one, if I go for another one it’d be nice to have some color for that one.
Good review Joker
I like your choices, IMO Lionel makes the best ES44ac, you can never have too many of them. The CP ES44 is calling my name, but I will wait and see in case they botch the paint color.
The fixed pilot option on the E6 is a very interesting feature, never seen that on a Lionel Diesel. I hope you get one and review it.
The pricing on the semi scale extruded aluminum passenger cars is outrageous. I don't own a set, but the ones I have seen have horrible windows which protrude. For Almost the same $$ you could purchase full a scale prototypical passenger cars from Golden Gate depot.
Thanks for the comment. I agree I like the Lionel ES44 better than the MTH version I had. The E6 is tempting. Waiting to see about a few custom runs before i put my order in.
5:51 Joker you know me so well!😂
😆
Shots fired on Brad Martz!!! Lol
yeah, i just call it how i see it😂
Everyone hates him.
@@MMID303 I know. I bought an engine from him for an insane price but only because he was the only one to have it.
That happens sometimes
Sorry if this question answered- but those crazy marker lights? Has Lionel ever acknowledged the brightness issue and any desire to address? You’re right on with the color issues again no resolution, QC or frankly giving a damn. Enjoy your no BS approach!
Thanks I appreciate that. I think they acknowledged the lights. But I don’t if they said they will fix it.
Like your honest reviews .. will get 2 of the BNSF es44s. Out of spite, I did order the plasma blue Berkshire (on Lionel's website) and will get the matching passenger cars. Worst case, I'll hate it and sell in a year and make $900/$1200.
assuming we're not in a recession/depression which is 50/50. then it's guns and butter
You’re not wrong. People will snatch up Polar Express stuff. But we know the ES44s will be nice.
heres a fun fact D&RGW Triplex Locomotive was a proposed Triplex steam locomotive by the Baldwin Locomotive Works for the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad and The Denver and Rio Grande Western's Triplex Locomotive was proposed by the Baldwin Locomotive Works after they had built the very first three triplex locomotives for the Erie Railroad in 1914 and they were planning to build this locomotive for the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad. but unfortunately The reasons to why Denver and Rio Grande Western's Triplex Locomotive wasn't built was because of the issues with the Erie Railroad's P-1s and the Virginian Railway's XA when they couldn't go as fast as their top speed was about 10-15 mph, with the Virginian Railway's XA reaching 3-5 mph or even as high as 10 mph.
Thanks for that. That is a fun fact.
your welcome@@Jokers_Trains
your welcome@@Jokers_Trains
So the aluminum cars actually do have passengers and new interiors now and the end car got some updates. Now the end car is the station sounds car so that 4pk includes a station sounds car. Yeah the price is a little fucky but I’d rather pay too much for aluminum cars than the plastic 21” cars IMO even though I bought the whole empire builder set. I’d like to but the 49er set but I’m curious if pat’s will do the black bonnet on those.
Don’t know if I’m ordering an engine out of this one I ordered Brady’s triplex already but if anything I’m with you on the NKP #777
Im just not gonna pay that for passenger cars. And the fact they are 18" cars. And you are correct they have interiors and people. I didnt see that at first. Im sure they will come out nice they just arent for me.
The royal blue wood sided passenger cars are the same cars Lionel is using for the Halloween passenger cars Lionel is going to make to go with the Halloween Triplex. Charles Ro has them deeply discounted for preorder. And their after preorder price will probably be the same as most dealers preorder price.
Good info thanks
I’ll watch later when I have more time
Nice Trains in Catalog
Some are
I pre ordered the city of Miami set but u are right the MTH one FUCKS it’s a hot set I’m hoping lionel gets their head outta their ass on this
We will see.
I guess the Lionel legacy Baltimore & Ohio ten wheeler train set is quite disappointing, isn’t it?
It could be. Or it could be awesome. Up to Lionel.
What's buddie 😅
😆🤷♂️
Miami of Ohio?
yep .. sigma chi alpha chapter .. sycamore st .. many pledges went on "mike" runs for food and beer
Could be. Or could be Miami Florida 🤷♂️😆
Let's just say it; Lionel WON'T produce that blue.
Oh they will produce it. But what color blue will it be.
@@Jokers_Trains exactly what I was insinuating. Whatever blue is left in the air gun.
@kenmunozatmmrrailroad6853 😆😆
remakes, remakes and more remakes.......overpriced with too much technology that isn't needed for trains that go in circle on a fixed track......it ain't a Tesla it is a model train.
Solid point. Thanks for watching.
