- I was pretty excited to fnally take deliver of these cars, since I had bee nwaiting a few months to pick them up. As you would expect, I was quite chocked to see yet another expencise item fall apart outn of the box.
Not only was the car missing screws, the all of the doors on the passenger car are cracked. Both of these items came in seperate boxes. Quite the dissappointment.
Experienced the same with two steam locomotives front pilots from Lionel.😳😬😮💨
Would be great with USRA steam locomotives up front.
@junelipinski2025 Filming that exact thing this week 😁
Same old, same old with Team Orange Box! The exact same issues with those Polar Express cars (same tooling) I bought several years ago...The engine was around $1,500 and 5 or 6 cars at $200 a pop...you do the math. Sent them all back. Nothing new. It's a shame as Lionel makes some really cool stuff that is innovative and continues to develop new products and features but the quality control and service after the warranty is non-existent. I'm lucky to have a contact with a Lionel-approved Legacy repairman for post-warranty service but there is a reason I've started letting some of my (approximately) 20 Legacy engines go and only have one on order - once the warranty is up....good luck!
I really like your latest acquisitions Steve! Those cars are beautiful! I’m so sorry you had issues again. Great job on the video! 👍
Thanks, Frank. One day I'll have a streak of flawless items come in
Nice addition to your collection!
Thanks, hope to see ya next week!!
Great looking cars! Can’t tell, but are the figures inside soldiers dressed in uniform? Thanks for sharing!
It would have been nice if the changed the diner car sounds. If it was an army transport it should be tailored to that.
There are parts that are tailored for that, I'm happy to say. It used things like "All aboard the Troop Transport,and a few others.
They don't make 'em like they used to.
Those are some good-looking cars! Too bad about the quality control issues though, especially for the money spent.
I see they're made in Vietnam. They still holding a grudge or something?
Thank, Wayne!
Lionel’s quality is as expected as it is from China, they have no quality backstop, they could ship to USA in bulk and pack in USA at the prices. But they are clearly in it for the profits!
Of course they are in it for profits. They’re not a charity. They don’t sell a lot of individual products anymore so costs are higher with less numbers Just about every manufacturer is having the same spot issues with quality from China. It’s gotten much worse over there in the last 5 years. I bought a Menards engine and the drive truck fell apart when I put it in the track.
How much are they n were can u get them I got the army triplex.look darker than triplex
Minor squawk,BIRTH,should be BERTH,as that is the proper spelling! Spellcheck strikes again! Thank you 😇 😊!
Motive power would be steam if era correct
Completely agree! I have just not yet unboxed the power that I am assigning to this rolling stock. . . But I'm filming it now!!! Stay tuned to this weekend 😁😁
Should have had steam engines
I COMPLETELY agree, Fred!!. . . But the one that is getting matched with this set, is getting filmed this week. Stay tuned to see why it was not in this video😁
I quit buying Lionel all together, they went from number1 to number💩. 2 engines in repair. Don't hate but appreciate MTH & ATLAS. Built better, I love DCS just as much as legacy
