This set looks great! The GS-4 locomotives we're always pretty, it was hard to make them look bad. It's a shame that the only freedom locomotive is rusting away at the B&O museum
I’m sure you would probably already know this but Reading 2101 which pulled the American Freedom Train and also yes is at the B&O Railroad Museum is now being restored not back to operating condition but is getting a cosmetic restoration. Just wanted to let you know just in case you weren’t aware of that.
They have had about 4 different, isolated time periods of marketing HO- The first time was during the latter days of the postwar era, from 1957-1966 (Mostly rebranded Rivarossi and Athearn until c. 1959-1960). They brought back HO during the MPC era, and revived a small portion of the old HO product line- most of it was never re-introduced. I think the MPC line lasted from 1974 to around 1977. Some time in the early 2000s Lionel offered a pair of fancy, high end HO locomotives, and then they abandoned HO again. More recently, HO has come back again. But contemporary Lionel HO seems to have absolutely nothing in common with the Lionel HO of the past.
This is a nice train set, but I just don't get why 4449 be part of the set instead of the Alco. I would like to suggest in the future maybe more high speed train sets such as the ICE 3 from Piko (any livery) as well as the Mehano version of the same train.
There were two versions of the set- a "full" version, with the GS4, and a scaled back version with a couple less cars, and the ALCo instead. IIRC the prototype Freedom Train was pulled by a few different locomotives over the course of its journey, with the GS4 being probably the most iconic. There were two other steam engines that pulled it, but the GS4 is the most iconic. Why an ALCo diesel from Lionel, probably because they had the tooling. Perhaps they felt that it nicely tied into the 1940s Freedom Train, which was lead by an ALCo- albeit an Alco PA, not an FA.
Can regular passenger cars be painted into the freedom train? Im looking for either decals or something in ho scale. I need em to work with the athearn knuckle couplers. And ideas by or help?
Finally a 4449 daylight model in this channel!
Mhm 👍

Feeling nostalgic
4449 is a beautiful model!
Never knew Lionel has been making H0 models.

Вааааууууу😮😮😮
Would you be interested in reviewing a battery operated train set from us?
The power track of Bachmann it’s a rerailer
I don't know which GS4 loco has the better paint scheme. I'm making a model out of it. Which colors should I paint?

What track and what transformer are you using to power this train in this video?
Hey you
New sub!
I love your videos what do you do with the model train After the videos though
Hey do you think about setting up a big ho scale layout and running all of the ho scale trains you have.
Can regular passenger cars be painted into the freedom train? Im looking for either decals or something in ho scale. I need em to work with the athearn knuckle couplers. And ideas by or help?
Probably the 2nd oldest train set you've done on the channel
ОЧЕНЬ ХОРОШИЕ МОДЕЛИ ПОЕЗДОВ мне нравится!!! ❤❤❤ ЕСЛИ ЧТО Я РУССКИЙ подписчик 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
250$x15000=Rp3.750.000
i have the exact same daylight locomotive, but I did not know its by lionel
Veo que esas 2 locomotoras pertenecen al mismo set, o me equivoco???
왜 한국에는 안팔지 나도 사고싶은데
There’s also a Bachman version?
The back axle on the engine feel off. It only has one copper clip.
Can Lionel gs4 fit around 18” radius?
😃😃😃😃😃😃😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😜😜😜😜
