Fun fact I talked to one of the steam engineers at Strausburg and he said that all engineers hate the 0-6-0t Thomas loco and 0-6-0 because they weren’t meant to run on the mainline so they are jerky when running on the main.

[@DJHProductions]

Everyone hates 31!

[@Band__geek]

It’s probably the unbalance. More weight is in the back, less infront.

[@TrainBandit]

For my little layout I would like to buy the 0-6-0 and 2-6-0 along with the bobber caboose. They just look great.

Very nice Chris so cool that you live so near to the Choo Choo barn and the Strasburg RR my cousin Franny and her husband Larry have a custom home building business in Leesport PA They live inAuburn PA but we grew up in Burchrunville PA with her mom and dad nice video Chris THANKS for sharing ENJOY GOD BLESS

[@MecFan7470]

The design down to the tender looks identical to Conway Scenic Railroad7470

[@OgaugeTrainsplusslotCars]

I like that steam engine

[@RetroMikado]

Great video Chris! Strasburg stuff looks right at home on your layout!

[@johnh.toytrainfanatic5300]

I love it , nice review .

[@northpennvalleysteamrailroad]

Awesome video 😊

[@joeDeLude]

Another great video Chris!

[@triplertrains]

Another 🔥 video!

[@Nicetrains]

Great video. You have a nice layout. I am just waiting to get my Strasburg 89 to go with the cars. Can’t wait.

[@JohnHuntt]

Thanks a lot in showing the New Lionel engine and sharing it's history which things more interesting on the lay out. Showing the difference in the MTH cars and Lionel cars is great to show. Showing the details in the passenger cars is awsome. It was nice to see the train navigate through the switches. Missed seeing the smoke coming out of engine 31. Like the smoke coming pouring out engine 89. John

[@DJHProductions]

The 31 project has halted due to funds and is pretty much DOA. When 90 goes down the railroad will have to focus on 89 and 475 only. 8618 will be the backup. Don’t expect 31 to run at any point in the near future. Most likely IF 31 is restored it will be when another engine goes down for a 1472. Until then enjoy the model because that is all you’re gonna have with 31. Fun fact if you hit aux 3 on the legacy remote and then hit the bell it turns it into a fast pace bell which the real 31 had.

[@Mr.Funk92]

Funny thing I noticed the other day. Lionel’s “William McFarlan” car is incorrectly labeled as a Boston & Maine road name along the top. MTH got it correct with the “Strasburg” Road name along the top.

[@ChrissTrainsandThings]

That car is actually ex Boston and Maine and has the B&M lettering along the top currently, so they got it right.

[@3dartistguy]

must be nice to live in Strassburg near the Strassburg Railroad...

[@davebrown6598]

Thanks for the new 0-6-0 review! The 89 having sound issues?

[@ChrissTrainsandThings]

It’s only conventional and probably needs some cleaning.

[@carlmiles8655]

OK I think that #90 is either being rebuilt or it is being retired I also heard that they are almost don't with the rebuild of #31

[@miguelangelgarrido7233]

Hola buenas tardes excelente video muy bueno el vagon abrazo grande😃👍👍👍

[@Jokers_Trains]

Nice video, but would be better with Union Pacific. 😂

[@travisjudy]

Nice locomotives. I'm a pa resident and like your videos do you any p42 running on your layout. i have one in the 2014 veterans paint scheme from mth 2017 model

[@aaronstrains3561]

Nice now I half to find the funds to pick 31 once I’m still waiting on 90

[@johnpandolfino8663]

Nice engine..... I'm looking at the Frisco version ......

[@tomrogers5516]

Great video review of Lionel Legacy #31 0-6-0 switcher, Chris. Nice to see it heading the Strasburg passenger consist. Although I like the orangey red paint colour on the passenger cars, I like the MTH original darker Tuscan red a lot more. Honestly, I don't know which is more proto-typical, it's just a preference. Thanks for the great train run. BTW, what's with the caboose at the end? Just looks odd.

[@carlmiles8655]

SO SADthat Roadside America closed down in Shartesvilla PA ;-(

[@Mizzinno]

Those seem to be actual SRC employee voices. I recognize the brakeman and engineer's voices, though the other voices might be generic Lionel voices. 31 is currently on and off as time is available, with 1235 taking priority from my understanding.

[@DJHProductions]

Just talk to their CMO yesterday, they don’t have the man power, money, or time to work in 31. Their back shop is very busy with contract work so that takes priority. Don’t expect to see 31 run for at least 10 years if that. It’s not a priority nor does the railroad need it/ want it.

[@charlesmcclure5994]

👍👍

Chris my brother lives in effort PA over by the NASCAR race track is that anywhere where you live or nearby not that I'm trying to stalk you just curious you don't have to answer that's for sure. I just watched JD's number 12 update RBP his top 3 for 2023 And now you're 0 6 0 I have an 0 6 0 from bachman unfortunately it's HO scale she's a good runner . I have to say Lionel makes beautiful l locomotives and tenders when you buy their top-of-the-line I believe in America that are the best overseas I'd have to go Martin which passenger cars did you prefer better Lionel for the MTH. From what I could see the Lionel either way enjoy everything thank you for your time and effort on the video I always enjoy them keep up the good work God bless you and your family I will see you at York

[@carlmiles8655]

Chris is 475 still in the shop it is being completely rebuilt am I correct ? and 611 went back to Spencer ?

[@ChrissTrainsandThings]

611 is still in Strasburg. 475 is still operating.

[@timshaff]

It’s straight up embarrassing that the 90s haven’t shipped yet. You give Lionel your money and it’s essentially an interest free loan for them until you get your product 18 months later.

[@ricko3242]

Only if your foolish enough to place a preorder with a dealer that requires payment ahead of time.

[@timshaff]

@@ricko3242 I didn’t preorder anything. I personally don’t enjoy waiting indefinitely for an order to be fulfilled.

[@carlmiles8655]

Or is it #90 I don't remember ;-(
