Every time you open a new boxed loco or set, it's like Christmas morning all over again!!! You're right, this set is absolutely beautiful and as for that 'new smell', yes, it's a very real thing in case somebody out there is having trouble believing Ben's report.
That is beautiful. I have always loved the dramatic rake to the front of the earlier E-units compared to the E-8/E-9 more flat front. It looks like it's going 100mph sitting at the station.
Absolutely love your videos and your enjoyment and utter happiness. When I’m having a stressful day I watch your videos and it lifts my spirits. Thank you Ben many blessings
Glad you’re back, love your reviews. Sound and video great! Keep them coming and see you tomorrow with Eric and Peaches trains. Please show Mr Muffins exclusive when it comes in. What no deer, LOL
Very nice! That is one cool passenger train, for sure. I really love passenger trains and anything with a slant-nosed E, is even better. Illinois Central ran some gorgeous trains into Florida, usually in conjunction with CoG, ACL/SCL and FEC. They were some of the best. Unfortunately, I don't run any Command Control engines and since AMT didn't make any of those road names, I don't have one for my layout. Maybe the MPC-era City Of New Orleans will be in my future. Either way, I wouldn't mind having a City Of Miami in my collection. An excellent video, as always.
Hey Ben. New subscriber. Congrats and thank you for sharing. Been waiting to see this set in the flesh and in motion. It's incredible!! I considered the Lionel version but was able to acquire the MTH Premier version with all the add-ons, BOTH definite show stoppers.
Ben I can’t lie I was worried about you I hope all is well with you and the family my friend Thanks for taking the time out of your day to share your trains Dennis Knoxville Tn
Just found your channel. Great review! Not gonna lie when I first saw this train, it kinda reminded me of a Crayola box but that front end really makes it pop. Hello from Michigan. Thanks for posting this.
That's a beautiful set for sure! The figures in the 21" cars are a nice surprise. Why they left the observation car without passengers is just a Lionel thing. Probalby changed policy on pasengers in 21" cars after the observation cars were assembled. You got the smoke units running good. That's always a relief. Can't say the same for the smoke units of the A&B units of the AEC GP9 set. I don't reccomend that set.
Man I have a lot of questions. So did all the passenger cars come with figures or just that one? I see you ballasted your fasttrack. Would love to see more of your track.
Ben, you said the first car you looked at had figures, but not the observation car. Which cars have figures and which do not, including the two-pack and the diner? I want to know so I know how many figures to order. Thanks.

Saaaay, that looks like the box in the video that your WIFE told you, you better NOT buy!!! Ben, it's been good to know ya! 😢
@@jamesdenny4734 shhh 🤫
E-6? (( For prototype geeks, that era of locomotives didn't have radios to call the tower. They were dependent on wire, signals, and notes.))
Mine just came in, long wait.
What a cool set !! Now...........how can I hide this from my wife?
Christmas is every day at your house
Just discovered this channel! Your floor setup looks really interesting; could you give us a walkthrough?
@@DavidKiviat coming soon!
Art Deco lettering on the box...dammmn that's pretty

@@jaymcfalls3576 all of them have figures except for the observation car.
