    Wow, how'd I miss this one the past two days? No matter, it found ME, and that's a good thing!
    Lovely set Bob! Just as good as the day it was made almost 50 years ago, and isn't it fun when you find something you'd forgotten you had, it's just like a mini-Christmas!
    Now, on to the Hudson lamp video!
    Thanks for posting!

    When I was partner in a hobby shop we had the opportunity to buy, st s huge discount, a Lionel Service Center CSX Freight set. It was a figure 8 up and over set with a CSX SD-20 loco. I ordered one for myself for under the xmas tree. It is one of the reasons I switched from HO to O3r.
    Nice Amtrak set!!! Thx

    I got that set for my son when he was anout two. I showed him how to operate it. He was very careful with it and we often played with it. He is now 40. I still have it and its not. Iver the years Lionel added a combo, baggage, diner, dummy A and dummy B and I have them. He and his wife are still in the sciences and PhD's. One of these days I.hope to give it back to him!

    Fantastic Bob.! I agree wit you about the front of the Locomotive. I often look at my 2003 F3 and wish it was more realistic looking solid like the real thing. Beautiful Set and thanks for sharing.!

      What a great set to find again in your own home! I haven’t ever done that with a boxed set, but, I have found single cars and an engine I forgot. Seems at 67 I keep finding more and more forgotten trains lol! Have a great week ahead! Enjoyed the video as always! Thanks, Chris. Cbtrainnut

      I usually leave the Amtrak Alcos alone because they are some of my favorite paint schemes. I might repaint an old UP Alco this summer. 👍🏻😀

    That is a nice, little set. Clean and the cars look excellent. I wonder when, or even why, they removed those threaded bolts, disguised as air vents, from the top of the 2400 series car? They made it so easy to replace the bulbs and straighten the window inserts, if they got out of place. Cost cutting, maybe? Either way, that is a very good set. A fine video, as always.
