    Disclaimer, the movie will show different number of cars at different times for no reason at all. Some scenes have 3 cars total while I have counted 11 at another scene.

    Thanks for another great video to welcome the Christmas holiday season, RJ! Couldn't be more appropriate than having the Polar Express running around a tree in the living room. Great quality on the video, too, from a smart phone. I didn't think you could get that kind of quality from a smart phone. When I commented on the sound on the video before this one, I unintentionally sounded ungrateful for your efforts. Nothing could be further from the truth! I admire your enthusiasm, taking the time research the history and your always cheerful attitude. You always share a great O gauge train experience with your fans. Thanks a lot!

    I have the first GEN conventional Polar Express. And while it is very simple compared to the LC version it was also under $200 back in the day. So mine only running at Christmas it not over used.....but still a very nice looking, running set. You did well going with the LC set as the scale, nice loco, is WAY too much for me anyway! Thx

    I've got one of the original sets from 2004/5. There was a dock worker's strike in CA that year and they were hard to get but my dad got one. It runs great. Just has an air whistle. I've got all the extra cars and I will say, pulling all those cars, up steep hills, and at track speed did burn the motor up. I know they had issue with the first PE's motors but I'm sure I didn't help matters. Glad you finally got one. One more thing. Unless they have changed it, the decorative whistle on the engine breaks off very easily. I broke mine off with in the first few years I had it. Merry Christmas!

  • @bencunningham6298

    This set makes Christmas. I picked it up last year, only downside is wanting all the add ons which required a bigger layout around the tree haha. Thought about the legacy version but wasn't a fan of the cars or the price just for a Christmas train. May upgrade to the newer engine in the future if they happen to make it again

    I'm so happy the scale legacy version isn't exactly accurate to the movie😂, only happy because I don't have the urge to drop over a grand on it, the legacy version is more like the real life train, but not as accurate to the movie version as the 2.0 or 5.0, like the legacy version doesn't even have a whistle, like c'mon

    Anyone know how to get back the sounds on this 2021 Lionchief Polar Express? The sounds worked for the last week and now as of this morning, 12/18/2022, no more sounds and can't find anything on forums, Google or UA-cam on how to attempt a fix for this. I've tried the Bluetooth app, replacing remote controls batteries, disconnecting the engine from the coal tenders connections with both power on and off. Still nothing.

I say "when the sounds worked" because it's only the second Christmas we took it out to place under the tree. It worked for the last week and now as. of this morning no more sounds and can't find anything on forums, Google or UA-cam on how to attempt a fix for this.
