MERRY CHRISTMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS

[@nys1072]

I love u Eric Siegel

[@ConcordeStudios20]

I really hope Lionel makes a return on this Legacy Polar Express, they're incredibly difficult to find and the ones on Ebay are ridiculously priced.

[@GodPlayz1135]

This legacy train is just legendary just by watching it run

[@Ericstrains]

I agree!

[@Railfan105.]

I do like how for the model lionel decided to create a mix of the movie model and the Pere Marquette 1225. It looks kinda cool.

[@elijahglasser1421]

Very excellent train

[@zachwheeler9846]

Hands down the best Polar Express model ever made from the details to the sounds.

[@therailfanman2078]

ALL ABOARD, THIS IS THE POLAR EXPRESS!!

[@boombox4037]

What a beautiful engine

[@EngineerDaylight]

I love how it Has Tom Hanks Voice

[@charlesweeks6993]

Now departing from Atlanta on track 5, train number 12, the Polar Express

[@the_autism_express]

A very fitting engine to run today

[@northpennvalleysteamrailroad]

Nice polar express! Has great sound!

[@jodysmith8048]

The scale Polar Express looks fantastic on your layout I've been looking for one for years last I checked Ebay there are 3 of them that are for sale by three different sellers that all three sellers want almost $5,000 for them I don't know what they're smoking or what they're drinking but that's insane

[@nscalefun]

AWESOME, EXCELLENT and PERFECT!!!!! Thank you for sharing and keep up the good work.

[@stephanschauer8266]

Merry Christmas Eric I hope you and your family have a blessed day and keep them trains a rollin’

[@heyitsmegokukai]

They should've given this the whistle from the polar Express the The Lima 5 Chime whistle I think

[@johnpullen1349]

Merry Christmas to you and your family. Thanks for the great videos this last year. I like to see local work session video on your cool layout. , pick ups and deliveries.

[@wrangler70jkujeep74]

Beautiful train 😍

[@NJ-Transit-]

I also have the scale Polar Express. My consist, in order, is the Abandoned toy car, Coach car, Hot chocolate car, another Coach car, and finally the Observation car. I keep the number of cars to five because that is whats it is for most of the film However, on occasion in the film, it is seen with as little as three or as many as eleven and twenty. Also, I hope Lionel makes a more movie-accurate observation car. Merry Christmas to all.

[@joshmontemayor1212]

The G-scale observation car is pretty movie-accurate.

[@RDS51403]

I’m glad to see the Polar Express back on the layout😁. Merry Christmas 🎄

[@Ericstrains]

Same to you!

[@Im_here170]

Merry Christmas 🎁🎄

[@roberttaylor6600]

Marry Christmas to you Eric and your family Marry Christmas to one and all and a blessed New year 🎉

[@vincentvanpaepeghem4844]

Great video Eric! Love the Polar Express! Thanks for sharing! Have a great and awesome day! Merry Christmas my friend! 🚂☃️🎅🎄🎁❄

[@michaelbenoit248]

FYI that 1225 number plate is only on the Pete Marquette engine, never seen in the movie ever.

[@georgetrains6168]

Have a wonderful Christmas

[@Chessie1985]

Excellent run and Merry Christmas Eric!!!!

[@stuartbaker3326]

Awesome! I'd love to get one of those engines! Unfortunately, they're going for $5k on eBay right now. 😳 beautiful set! Merry Christmas! Also, I recently realized that you must live near me. We both seem to be frequent legacy station customers. Maybe I'll see you there one day!

[@rennethjarrett4580]

I always thought the polar express was a squashed ( stubby toy version ) of the real steam train. This one here in this video is either a real close to scale version or it was one that you made up to look scale. Also appreciate the better sound effects on this one of the train engine, most of the modern steam and whistle sounds are like distant recordings of a real train so it sounds like it is coming from a recording and not from this train directly, However your's here was very direct sounding, nice. Because of that I favored the early MPC era train sounds over the modern ones... Even the MarX "sound of power" is good when working well.

[@briandefazio6536]

This is the scale Lionel Legacy Polar express Berkshire and matching cars

[@skrep359]

Copy that dispatcher, lets get to work. Oh you mean the one and only route that you are forced to work on every year at a specific time and for all we know your measly souls don't exist until the night of Christmas Eve? Indeed! "This is the Polar Express"

[@DistanceNsVeterans]

They mixed the 1225 with PE and this time the end coach has 2 mars lights

[@3dartistguy]

wow, the Polar express!

[@markslioneltrains]

Fantastic Looking Model.! Merry Christmas 🎄Mark 👍🏻😄

[@jimdavis3913]

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.

[@johntoner6149]

Thank you

[@davvonmckenzie3911]

Great video and Merry Christmas

[@wjmg2]

I would love to have the Legacy version of this train. But I don't have Legacy yet, only MTH DCS.

[@eloysubiza1300]

Start music? Good video anyways

[@davidkoehler136]

Merry Christmas

[@gregleuze6657]

Took me looking for a year to find one at a reasonable price for my mom. Unfortunately there is no box, only the styrofoam sleeve. I think there is more than one road number. I found road number 1225. If it is rereleased I will make sure to pick one up.

[@V-max97]

Merry Christmas to all! Can see a review of the latest Menards tank cars?

[@azzir325]

You need the ghost hobo on top. Or underneath...

[@renedaigneault2287]

Hello congratulations for the video, I subscribed. Could you tell me how much your Polar express locomotive and wagon can cost with light, illuminated number, green lights on the front, smoke, transparent wagon window and lights on the end wagon.? Sound looks amazing vs other O's I've seen. What is this edition called?

[@mr.shadestrains6033]

Amazing train it’s so nice I have a Lionel starter set polar express it’s kool The detail on your train is. Simply wonderful. Great video as always Maybe someday I’ll hav the space for trains like that. Merry Christmas 🎅🏻🎄🎁

[@chessiejohnproductions]

Great video eric your videos are great.

[@danshobbies13]

That is a beautiful set. I want to like Lionel so bad, but I can’t get over the third rail. I don’t know why it bothers me so much. Anyways, have a Merry Christmas.

[@Adamdaj]

excellent video ! Merry Chistmas

[@Ericstrains]

Thank you! You too!

[@Suzukii-DIY]

Love the video.

[@miguelangelgarrido7233]

Hola buenas tardes excelente video muy feliz navidad abrazo grande

[@kristalkat7939]

I would like to see a double header with the Polar Express Berkshire and the Pere Marquette 1225 Berkshire

[@nys1072]

I’m so exited

[@thesheq5023]

Is this the heavyweight scale model or the set lionel released? Either way looks fantastic

[@scottscherer]

My favorite

[@ErikVince]

That is a cool Train

[@elaineenialle3594]

The train I got for Christmas is the same but H scale, too small, so I returned to find out the best size for my village. The people on the windows were not 3D like in this one on this video, it was like shadows on the windows. Does anybody now if that’s the difference between the scales H and O? Because I liked this one so much better!

[@ozar62]

Hello, could you please tell me what the part number is for this "O" scale set? I went to Lionel's site to buy one for my Grandson and I but their are so many to look at I was hoping to narrow them down.

[@bamamarco1008]

Merry Christmas to you. How much is this Polar Express set? Is it a newer one?

[@briandefazio6536]

This one can only be found on the used market at this point. Asking prices are generally around 5,000..... so it's hard to find a good deal

[@andrewrife6253]

Let's be real.... there were two types of people who saw that movie... the ones who were creeper out by the uncanny Valley effect and the ones who identified with the nerdy kid who knew about the train..... and we are all in this comment thread

[@Ericstrains]

haha, true

[@Suzukii-DIY]

Uh-oh... Anyone know how to get back the sounds on this 2021 Lionchief Polar Express? The sounds worked for the last weekand up until last night. We simply turned it off after about 5 minutes and after showing it off to some visitors and now as of this morning, 12/18/2022, no more sounds and can't find anything on forums, Google or KZbin on how to attempt a fix for this. I've tried the Bluetooth app, replacing remote controls batteries, disconnecting the engine from the coal tenders connections with both power on and off. Still nothing. Anyone have any tips or tricks to correct this? Thanks in advance.

[@mrsaturngamingandstories]

The Polar Express is actually Pere Marquette 1225

[@BB_Sebring]

Yes, but the model is a mix of both the Pere Marquette 1225 and the Polar Express. The whistle, like the one in the movie, is not from Pere Marquette 1225 but from Sierra Railroad #3 used in Back To The Future Part III. The crew talk sounds are from the movie, it has 'Polar Express' on the tender, and it has the distinct cowcatcher/snowplow. The rest of the model is based on Pere Marquette 1225 though

[@mollycaz1]

I brought a polar Express ready to ay set it did not come with a remote. Are there two different sets ? One with remote and one without a remote

[@jodysmith8048]

All lion sheep sets should have the remote with them that is how they are sold and that includes the Polar Express that you bought the one in this video is the Lionel scale Polar Express

[@JacobReid]

Where do you find one of these? I have been searching with no luck

[@Ericstrains]

They’re pretty hard to find now as it’s been quite a while since Lionel made them. I think Lionel might make them again soon, so I would keep an eye on the upcoming 2024 catalogs

[@JacobReid]

@@Ericstrains thank you!

[@sam40368]

i have the full legacy polar express too plus the hobo car

[@jodysmith8048]

Where did you find it an how much did you pay for it I have been looking for one for year there are three on eBay right now that three different sellers are trying to sell for $5,000 to me all three of those people have got to be out of their mind me asking $5,000

The starter set yes. Not the full scale version like this.
