Lionel has succeeded in taking all the fun out of O gauge! Lionel O gauge that is, thats why I buy from MTH & ATLAS . Cheaper, better, DCS is great and Lionel can kiss my 🫏

Cool Shawn, you should modernize the 40' box and remove the roof walks and put half-ladders as they did in the 70's. That would be cool. Ive done that with a K-Line caboose, kline made it easy to take roof walks off cars as they used small pins to hold them on. I run alot of modern stuff with out roof walks but just as in the real world a few still with them remain out there.

Thanks much for the suggestion. I would also need to update the trucks. The box car came with friction bearing trucks

Hey Shawn, that's YOUR car and if you want to turn it into a Conrail takeover car it's your priviledge. (Just don't over do it, OK? You don't want to give poor Walt a stroke! ) Fun video! And I concur, Weaver products are excellent. There's still plenty of them around especially at shows and the prices are VERY reasonable. Get 'em while you can folks!

Hello 2024 video on the catalog it's like the first time when I bought a DVD player when they first came out $500 dollars I really have learned as i got older do not buy new just wait around a few months and then buy it . But I know how you feel I can't really wait to get it when I want it that's a of part of life

I get there's a higher profit margin from building the scale stuff, but where's the line? How far will Lionel go before people stop buying what they're offering? The hole for semi scale trains at a decent price is massive. Like what K-Line offered in the early 00s.

People definitely have the power by talking with their wallets then the company has no choice to listen. Lionel could put the LionScale line up back into production and offer a cheaper line up of rolling stock.

Honestly there's nothing in the catalog that interests me, either in the product line or in the price I'm willing to pay.. So, I'll just do my conventional runner thing and buy used. Lionel Pre-War, Post-War, MPC, LTI, to say nothing of MTH, Williams, K-Line, there's a lot of good stuff out there looking for new homes! Thanks for posting Shawn!

All of the electronics jack up the price of everything that contain s them. Most people in HO scale don't have club sized layouts where the speed controls and the radio controls are actually needed. Conventional engines are much more reliable than ones with all of the electronics because you use them and they go bad or you don't use them you have them in storage and they do laminate in time.

When the board in a Williams locomotive goes out you can always put a rectifier in line with the engine and the pickup so the AC gets changed over to DC for the motors and you have absolutely nothing to go wrong and all you have to do is just Grease the motors every 25 hours.

The only thing I liked about the lion LG G1 is the fact that it has a diecast shell. My Williams gg1 cost me $400 each and they can go around and 042 curved. I wish Williams and Weaver and Mike's train house was still in business.

Way too expensive for everything. Not everybody interested in toy trains has more money than God. We are not all rich old people. Search high prices for stuff that they pay $2 an hour for labor. Lionel fields and it has no competition so they can price things as they feel like it higher and higher prices until nobody can afford to buy anything anymore

MPC Trains are great, if you have some mechanical ability and understand electricity you can repair them and they will last forever. They also have great graphics and paint . Most MPC Trains can be upgraded to magnetraction if desired .

You would not need a power master if you plan on running trains in a conventional mode. A power master is only a good idea if you want to mix locomotives that are conventional controls and remote controls on the same layout in my opinion.
