I hope everyone gets to see the complete video, I'm running FireFox and the video works perfect.

If the Lionel doesn't impress you I hope this one does.

Clear cache, close your browser. It's just a normal Youtube video, nothing special about it

Got it to work.  Had to grab the slider at the bottom and move it back to the beginning.

How many gallons of smoke fluid does it hold?  And what make the coal load go down and up...air?

 

I did not get it to work. The first it did was blow a little smoke and when I reset to 0:00 it is only a "static" display-looing thing again!

Hmm

Geeked

Nope, Tried two more times, even reloaded the youtube again form the "very beginning".

After long and careful thought, they have convinced me. I have come to the conclusion that they are right. The aliens did it.

How many are you going to buy?

I tried to look at it, but the timer jumps from 1 second to 10 minutes, 29 seconds, so I didn't see much other than

the smoke haze.  And who is "John"?

As a Lionel guy from "way back", that is absolutely outstanding!  

One thing that seemed very real was the whistle - a very good representation (to the best of my recall).

Thanks!

ENJOY  !

OK, that is amazing. Just wish they cut the startuo sequence and the shutdown, along with the crew chatter. The whistle actually letting out steam when you blow it - that's amazing. And that coal load..

OK, I have no place to set up enough 3 rail with large enough curves to handle that, but I want one!

Hi

A friend of mine sent me this a few minuets ago.

 

 

While it's focus is on the new O gauge Big Boy for 2014, the new features may someday be offered in S gauge models and they are amazing to say the least.

 

My take on the video is that it's "curtains" for John.

 

At a proposed retail of around $2500.00 each Lionel has finally designed a new feature that is known as the "Depleting Wallet".

 

Of course they call it the "Depleting Coal Load" but with John's O gauge needs I'm sure he'll be calling it the first name.

 

Anyway, enjoy the video!

Lee
