Was it worth the hype? Lionel 125th Anniversary Catalog Review - Visionline/Legacy

In a separate video I will review the traditional products. Here are some of my favorite catalog reviews for 2025, please check out their channels:

This is the best one so far!

Thanks so much for including our reaction to these really high lionel pricing from our our lionel catalog review. It pushing us to carefully buy used and a distinct bias to buy mth and atlas as our first choice.A scale vady and scale yellowbelly are the last 2 engines on my must have list. But they both should not be vision line with no water scoop, no blow down. Likely, we will get the thomas 80th anniversary box car, begrudgingly. It also is overpriced. Gary

Ordering the TW Christmas Hudson. I wish they would have done a Halloween Vanderbilt in black with orange or purple pinstripes to give it a classy mean look. Great video! A new subscriber! Thanks!!

@@Craig-fe5hr thank you, I appreciate it! I really like the TW Christmas Hudson. I’m highly considering it.

I like the NYC hudson with the centipede tender? In about 10 years, I can afford a used one! 😃 😎

[@TheTrainboard]

Exactly. We think the investment group that runs lionel will bled lionel dry. The leadership group seem to not understand train people. Gary

The gold would be nice if they weren’t going to rough up the sides . No ones trying to look realistic with a golden locomotive.
