Lionel Legacy Nickel Plate Road

This video is about Lionel Legacy Nickel Plate Road #765 2-8-4 Berkshire, Lionel 6-86487. Nickel Plate Road 765 2-8-4 "Berkshire" type steam locomotive built for the Nickel Plate Road in 1944 by the Lima Locomotive Works in Lima, Ohio. Classified as a "S-2" class Berkshire, the locomotive operated fast, heavy freight and passenger trains until retirement in 1958. It is also similar in design to Pere Marquette 1225, also built by Lima.
Among the most highly-regarded steam locomotives of all time, these Berkshires remain an enduring legacy to the epitome of steam engineering and are as popular today as during their heyday. Available again in the most popular schemes in new road numbers as well as some new and colorful additions to the Lionel roster, it's time to add some Super Power to your roundhouse!
This a phenomenal model and is very well done by Lionel.

[@Sippy309]

These train sets are amazing!

[@TrainChamber]

They sure are!

[@spproductions5103]

Cool model

[@Idkjustgothere]

This was very enjoyable to watch I love the sound effects on the loco :)

[@TrainChamber]

They are very good

[@JerryDoesThings_1604]

Nice running session! Beautiful model with that white trimming!

[@TrainChamber]

Thanks! White trim makes it stick out

[@silverplanet2078]

the whistle is my favorite feature on the nkp 765

[@TrainChamber]

Yes the whistle is a very great sound!

[@PetersTrainz]

Rich Melvin has made a comeback too.

[@TrainChamber]

Yep it sounds much better than generic crew talk

[@kstrains]

Very nice engine! I like the added Mar Light which was optional add-on from the 2nd run. Same great whistle too!

[@TrainChamber]

Its unfortunate the Mars Light is No longer removable but nonetheless a great model

[@alstrains152]

Does this have a smoking whistle affect. I found the L&N version of this and was wondering if they all of them came with the smoking whistle and it’s a 2017 run right?

[@TrainChamber]

Yes this is the most recent run. And yes, it has the whistle steam smoke effect.

[@alstrains152]

@@TrainChamber ok I can’t wait for my L&N one to come in. I will post a video on it.

[@fitzmatt6147]

I’m a fan of fortnite and Lionel and out of all the trains this is the best model hope you have a wonderful day today

[@MPT_Productions]

Very nice Joe. I still can't believe you have a Berkshire. I've wanted the 1225 for a whole decade when it came out in 2008. And you have one before I do LOL. Great video... BETTER model, and Rich Melvin is sounding better than ever on these new Berkshires! "HONEY, WHERE'S MY BERKSHIRE?!?! WHERE IS MY BERKSHIRE?!?!?!?!?!"

[@TrainChamber]

Lol Thx and ur Berkshire is in the mail :P

[@MPT_Productions]

Train Chamber I sure hope

[@nhoy218]

Awesome engine!

[@TrainChamber]

Thanks!

[@TobyPasman]

The engineer end of the crew talk of this model is voiced by Rich Melvin. Rich was the engineer of the real 765 back in the 80s and 90s.

[@TrainChamber]

Yep, It adds so much more ti this model

[@reptilianxlol934]

Wow! She’s really an outstanding locomotive, hope to see another video of her in the future

[@TrainChamber]

Thanks! Im pretty sure this loco will be in videos to come :)

[@reptilianxlol934]

That’s awesome

[@reptilianxlol934]

Man now this makes me wanna get a new train right now

[@reptilianxlol934]

Another thing what’s that music called? I wanna use it once I can get my trains running again

[@TrainChamber]

I have no idea its just in my editing software

[@SRRC245]

wow lionel didn’t even change the sounds from the previous runs.

[@TrainChamber]

Because the sound was already good

[@dmandc]

It’s prototypical too so it doesn’t really matter

[@MPT_Productions]

SIRR Productions yea but they completed changed the looks of it. The got rid of two of the builders plates made the smoke box colors and pipes wrong and completely screwed up on the striping on the front

[@CPLWTrainz]

I see your having fun with it :D

[@TrainChamber]

I sure am :D

[@railfanjackson4531]

Does this one have the alternate smokebox door without the mars light? Because the last one from 2014 did.

[@TrainChamber]

No that option was not available in this run.

[@railfanjackson4531]

Ok just curious. If I do get one of these Berkshires I’d probably get the Southern 2716.

[@TrainChamber]

My only issue is that the steam and sand domes are on the wrong place

[@railfanjackson4531]

Yeah I understand, but it really doesn’t concern me that much.

[@railfanjackson4531]

The reason for the sand and steam dome thing is because Lionel used for the most part a generalized tooling. Some things were changed but it would have probably cost too much to create an entire new tooling for just one road name.

[@FutureRailProductions]

I want...also what is that music?

[@TrainChamber]

Lol idk what the music is called but it is in my editing software

[@railfanjackson4531]

She’s a nice engine. Nice video too. Though I probably won’t get one right now because I have the 115th Anniversary Berkshire. But nevertheless you got a great model.

[@TrainChamber]

Thanks! This is my first legacy Berk

[@railfanjackson4531]

You’re welcome.

[@TyTytheTrainGuy]

I’m sorry I need to drop something

[@TrainChamber]

lol

[@austint918]

Is it just me or does the gray on the smoke box look a lot worse on this one than the old one?

[@TrainChamber]

That is not just you, they made the shade of grey too light

[@austint918]

Train Chamber ok glad it’s not my eyes when I get mine I’m gonna weather it down I guess

[@TrainChamber]

EVen tho its not prototypical i think i may just leave it

[@spproductions5103]

Cool model
