just so that everyone knows, lionel didn't start making O gauge locomotives till 1915 so the 100 years that have passed it makes since that they would celebrate 100 years of lionel o gauge trains, not the "Changing of the gaurd" as eric said.
@keithm52247 жыл бұрын
But the company has been around since 1900, hence the 115 year anniversary. And actually Joshua Lionel Cowen did make a display train around that time
@MJC197 жыл бұрын
Keith M yes I know the company was founded in 1900, but UNTIL 1915 they ONLY MADE standard gauge trains! And that desplay used to be made with standard gauge trains, untell the o gauge engines took off in the 1920s that's when they started to focus more on them.
@keithm52247 жыл бұрын
So, what's your point? This model was to celebrate the company, not the gauge
@MJC197 жыл бұрын
+110658283249455672070 ok either your so naive or oblivious to the situation, if the engine was to celebrate the company, it would be made in 2000 to mark the 100th anniversary of lionel trains in general, but it was made in 2015 and over 100 years ago from 2015 AKA 1915 lionel started thire O gauge program by making models of the nyc electric locomotives so it would only make sense that this birkshire is honouring the o gauge line of lionel.
@keithm52247 жыл бұрын
Well they did make a 100th anniversary locomotive in 2000, and this wouldn't mark the 1915 line of o gauge because then that would designate this as the 100th anniversary locomotive, not 115 as stated. This is meant to mark the 115th anniversary of the company of Lionel.

Again, keep up the great work with the videos you post. You should become a salesman for Lionel, because you've helped us make more than a few acquisitions! Thanks for everything! In addition, my Dad has a story he would like to share with you about a F3 Wabash which was his first engine, and still his favorite of any Lionel Trains he has ever received. Is it okay if I send it to you? Thanks!

Hey Eric, another nicely done review. Just my own opinion, but I think an auxiliary water tender would have complimented the unit rather nicely. Question: You might have heard whereas Lionel would be coming out with an HO scale model of The Polar Express train as featured in the film "The Polar Express", my question is, do you plan to do a review of that train set? I know you don't review HO scale items under normal circumstances, but I've been wondering if you would make an exception this time around. Hope you're well.
