Your dinner because then you’ll go to bed hungry but I don’t want to eat

Question about DoubleheadIng I want to do a excursion run with a steam locomotive and the diesel locomotive but I’m using the universal remote and I have to run both engines at the same time on one single train and it’s hard to keep them at the same speed and I know some tricks, but my steam locomotive goes slower than my other diesel locomotive that goes when starting the locomotive to make it slowly run it goes faster than the slowly run on the steam locomotive so it’s hard to keep a constant speed on two locomotives on one remote and yes, I have a dummy unit, but I am fixing it. It will not go on properly. One of the boogies is not in place properly.

NIce😂

Great video Mike, that is a great point about Lionel being able to create more remote accessories. With Bluetooth built into the Base3 they should make use of it. Plus that interactive play is what made Lionel in the post war era. It is what brings kids into the hobby.

Cool!

Great memories

Nice shot!

Awesome

Perfect timing 👌🏻

❤😊

How many takes did it take? Or is just a good shot Mike?

I agree I’m using the old electric railroad stuff for a lot of operating cars, but it ain’t easy or cheap!

I’ve used Trainz for buying a lot of stuff. I mainly buy my steam locomotives on there, but sometimes I buy diesels, passenger cars, and occasionally freight cars.

Neither engine's box lists "cruise" or Odyssey system as a feature.

You make a good point here. I hardly use my accessories. Maybe I would use them more if all I had to do was simply press the button. Ken

Great video thanks for the info Just one question if I may I have the old style cab one with the antenna it won't pair with the Base3 guess I have to buy Cab 1 legacy like you purchased ? Thanks again Dandified Subscribed !

Love the Mikado! and train set!

Hello Mike, I think that would be a great feature eventhough I just built my layout using the postwar control track sections that interfere with running some of my engines and lighted cars. The guy tossing packages from the boxcar is actually pretty close to how it's done. I have had several items come damaged in crushed boxes from USPS from poor packing by sellers. My neighbor worked for the post office and said they sort packages by tossing across the room into big carts. The fragile label must be seen as a challenge for survival😅.

I love the Lionmaster series and have Lionmaster Challenger, Big Boy, and Cab Forward. I am strongly considering getting the Lionmaster Hudson if only to support the series. With that having been said, Lionel used to put Legacy electronics in the Lionmasters and included whistle steam, which is a super cool feature. The Lionmasters were basically full-fledged Legacy engines that could navigate O-31 curves. I know that everyone has different price pain points but to me, my Lionel engines are mostly about space, not about price. Finding the storage space for something I will almost certainly never get rid of is, in the long run, a bigger deal than another $100 or $200. I do wish Lionel would revert to form and offer the Lionmaster engines with Legacy electronics and whistle steam (and maybe other cool features) for everybody who really wants to run the big beautiful engines on our layouts but who just cannot fit O-72 curves. I'll end the same way I began, however: thank you, Lionel, for keeping Lionmaster alive!

Very nice! They should use that technology more, so you don't need the accessory track everywhere. I run post-war, so it it a necessary thing to have. I would like to see them offer something to use with the Cab-3 App, which I have to operate on some of my friends layouts. Either way, an excellent video, as always.

She’s darling

I agree. Operating cars were the heart of. Lionel success post war

You hit it right on the head 👍👍

I tell you what, that worker who knocked that package 30 feet from the train needs to be FIRED!!! Its going to cost the railroad money replacing shippers items!? 😂😂😂❤

I found 25 lights on the trains and I maybe won? But nice layout it’s awesome I wanna own one one day

Agree 100% Mike. There’s no reason for Lionel or anyone not to. They focus so much on their high end scale stuff which is great and I enjoy it too but the fun interactive elements of model trains especially O gauge seems to be put at the way side. I mean honestly feel like this tech is not very new or cutting edge yet they do so little with it. They just kinda rehash and repaint their same old accessories over and over again and don’t innovate that much. It’s a shame. Never seen those K line cars. Might take a look.

Yes i would but lionl care about high price items

I agree 👍 I don’t have any accessorie cars at the moment and it would be really fun to add blue tooth to them they have had to think about it I would think , like u said they spend most time on engines and sometimes they’re not right lol, yea man it would really be cool to activate cars and where on layouts by just pushing a button with blue tooth , I don’t get it either 🤔great video Mike 👍

What is your grass mat made of?

Remember when TMCC first came out and Lionel published the details for the communication protocol so it would become the standard and other manufacturers could integrate to use the same controls? Yeah those were the good old days. If Lionel would open up the Bluetooth / Legacy control protocols anyone could develop stuff to work with their control system.

You and I are thinking the same thing, In my opinion they could definitely add Bluetooth or Legacy control to activate accessories and some post war type operating cars, can't wait to see what they do.

My attention span is much too low to ever win a Dadified Scavenger Hunt.

I got 20. A fun video, for sure.

I got 21, layout is looking good!

I had the freight set but I didn't know you could add stuff to it man. It brought a lot of good memories back. Thank you for sharing

I guess 14 but I'm not for sure

I got 16

I got 29

I got 22

Keep the early version. The air horn is unique, and a lot of the scale versions don't have it. The soundset seems more accurate as well.
