The model swap feature is fantastic! Need to use that on some of my older tired engines. Wish that had that for cars too.

[@Ericstrains]

It’s coming soon

[@isaacsmith1874]

[@ChargerusPrime]

I agree with you about SD70s being one of the best looking engines ever made. If you want to see a gorgeous paint job on one of these, look up a Southern Pacific SD70ACe. It'll be in the black widow paint scheme and I LOVE it!

[@patrickgrogan4382]

I lost it at the "model swap" feature. It's also nice seeing your girlfriend in the videos too!

[@carlpeduzzi3780]

Model swap, that was good. It’s great when your significant other is part of the hobby. My wife supports my addition and has accumulated a decent stable of BNSF units which she likes.

[@Puddin_Pi]

I love to see ladies get into the hobby. Now I don’t feel alone!!

This coming Monday (November 15th) is opening day for firearm deer hunting in Michigan. Ontario Knifes are very popular for field dressing a deer. After that is done I take the deer to a butcher shop. It all comes back to me labeled and wrapped in white paper. Cool SD70AC demo. • Cheers from the Detroit & Mackinac Railway 🚂

The biggest improvement has gotta be the correct oscillation speed on the ditch lights… idk what took them so long lol

[@danchamberlain6069]

Nice video I would like to know if Lionel has improved it's quality control . One third of the Lionel trains that I've bought new have been defective out of the box. These defects include wheels that wont turn because the trucks are defective and wiring that was not soldered correctly to begin with !

[@daviddahms1696]

Dan, I have experienced much the same thing, although my rate is 1/2 of all new Lionel purchases of engines and railsounds cars have had to be returned for factory repair work right out of the box. Please, please Lionel improve quality control in manufacturing. I love the new designs and features you are creating. They are GREAT, but now I almost dread taking a new engine or railsounds car out of the box just hoping this time it works right and I don't have to send it back to Lionel repair which with postage and return often takes 3 months plus.

[@EagleCreekRailRoad]

Gonna have to get onboard with the model swap feature.😁

[@AndrewNeilFalconer]

I wonder if there will be an O scale Grand Trunk Western SD70M-2 diesel loco produced for LIONEL.

[@Ericstrains]

I'm sure at some point they will, or have in the past.

[@AircraftCollector4]

Does Lionel still do the ground lights on these? Hard to tell in the video and it’s not listed in the features anymore.
