Lionel Legacy Nickel Plate Road 765

Well train buddies, today, Monday October 8, 2018, my birthday, I have one special locomotive to share with you guys. Exactly 3 months after receiving 261, I receive the brand new NKP 765. This is the best gift I have ever received! The whistle and sounds are absolutely fantasic! Aside from a few inconsistencies between the real 765 and this, I am very happy with it! I will go over the inconsistencies when I review this soon!

[@NoobyNoob010]

That whistle was actually from the real 765. That was a Nathan 6 chime whistle recorded in the 80’s or 90’s. They returned the whistle in 2023. In 2024, the 6 chime is still there.

[@dmandc]

Lucky! I never get stuff like this for my birthday or Christmas. Happy birthday!

[@MPT_Productions]

Dman Dc haha. Oh well, maybe in the future. Thanks!

ikr

[@alfonsolanzagorta5138]

Hollw cow.... That's a Hall of Fame whistle. Reflects the nostalgia of the one who is going and the hope of the one who is comming. The smoke and steam whistle are also great features that make worthy pay Lionelesque price tags on such an art piece. Congrats! Best regards from Mexico.

[@MPT_Productions]

Thank you very much! It is a great model indeed

[@TrainTableRailroad]

The whistle gives me chills I wish I had this loco.

[@MPT_Productions]

It is a good whistle

[@MPT_Productions]

FTYFilms thank you! That’s awesome! I also saw 765 for the second time two weeks ago on the 23rd!

[@kenmunozatmmrrailroad6853]

I love your layout! It speaks to those of us with neither the time or patience for a scaled theme; those of us who just like to relax and watch trains run.😊

[@MPT_Productions]

Ken Munoz thanks a lot, Ken! I don’t have the time and room to build a real table. Plus, I won’t be able to be here all the time when I go to college so I just enjoy collecting more engines so I have more when I start off with my first layout. And of course it’s a lot easier to walk around on the floor if something derails or has an issue. Thanks again, Ken!

[@kenmunozatmmrrailroad6853]

MPT 1225 Thanks for the reply and I wish to add for reference: As you are off to college it suggests you’re much younger than myself. Over the years I’ve been helping my 12 year old daughter appreciate the hobby as I did in my youth by constructing a similar layout on our living room floor. I show her your videos all the time as a reference for the funner side of the hobby. This morning we were both awed over your insertion of a real “run-by” of your actual locomotive; tasteful genius! In closing- your videos are of extremely high quality; the vantage points, camera angles, depth of field, focal length all lend to very tasteful production values and the number of “likes” you have is not an accurate representation of what you offer here. Good luck in college... don’t come back till it’s done... and if I have a word of advice to your generation from mine: today’s BA has little value; MA/MS will get you in the door to “that job; but a Doctorate will cover you for life. Now go git ‘er dun’! 💪🏽

[@MPT_Productions]

Ken Munoz Ken, this is probably the nicest and most touching comment I’ve ever received. All I can say is thank you. I really appreciate the kind words and people like you are the ones that keep me going in making videos. I should’ve been clearer. I’m going to High school this coming school year, so I have time until college lol. I’m really happy that you enjoy these videos. Thanks again, Ken!

[@kenmunozatmmrrailroad6853]

MPT 1225 I’m speechless... No need to reply: You’re mature beyond your years and your parents must be extremely proud. Let ‘em know I said so, Now... I gotta tell my daughter this!

[@MPT_Productions]

Ken Munoz Again Ken, Thank you so much. I told them, and they are extremely proud and thankful for your extremely nice comments! Thanks again, Ken!

[@JLCmike4014]

Looks good mark and Happy Birthday! I have the first generation 765 so it doesn’t have the mars light. Wish lionel would’ve made the 779 cuz i would’ve bought that one. U and my uncle bill share the same birthday.

[@MPT_Productions]

steam thanks Mike! That’s awesome! How ironic lol

[@Tallyock]

Lionel did make a 779 in 2003, but it's a TMCC model with older railsounds and doesn't sound even close to the newer legacy nkp berks.

[@JLCmike4014]

Tallyock, i know about that tmcc 779. But if i remember correctly it didn’t have a mars light on it and i love how the NKP berks look with the mars light on them. Plus the 779 is the only NKP berk to survive with it’s mars light it’s whole life if i remember correctly and it’s the last of their berks. Beautiful engine, just wish it wasn’t sitting in a park on static display.

[@Tallyock]

It has the mars light s3.amazonaws.com/collector-modeltrains.com/MT-0603603_44067b16-587a-11e1-ae63-e091f5975601_00.jpg

Awesome !

[@MPT_Productions]

Transit Rail Productions thanks!!

[@TrainChamber]

Awesome! Now u see why i really like this model! also does the crew talk seem quiet on your 765 compared to the whistle too? Anyway happy B-day

[@MPT_Productions]

Train Chamber thank you Joe! Yes I see why you love the model lol. Umm not really I mean it seems normal to me, but idk. Make sure you have the sounds all turned up. Look at the volume pot in the tender and turn that up, hit the volume up button on the remote, and also Aux 1 volume up. That controls all the other sounds besides the bell and whistle

[@railfanjackson4531]

Oh sweet. Didn’t know you got one of these. I’m still working for the Challenger. Hope you enjoy the engine.

[@railfanjackson4531]

Do you think at some point you could doublehead the 765 with the 587? That’d be awesome.

[@nickltrains6952]

Hi MPT1225 I realy enjoyed seeing the NKP 765 pulling the NYC passenger cares.I agree with you the whistle has an awesome sound to it. In the video I seen another NKP engine. Is it a Mikado engine? I have to say you have a nice collection of steam locomotives. All the steam Locomotives are they Lionel with legacy System? I notes the crew talk is a little different then the NKP 757 which is a good thing to do with the same road name.Thanks for sharing your new NKP engine and Happy birthday. The split video is so cool. How did you do it? I'm looking forward to seeing your next video. Have a great day. Nick

[@MPT_Productions]

Nick L Trains thank you Nick! Yes it is a Mikado. Yes they are Legacy. It is a feature in iMovie with the split screen

[@nickltrains6952]

Thanks for the info.

[@MPT_Productions]

Nick L Trains you’re welcome

[@sceptrdisle1766]

That is a fantastic video! Thanks. I have almost the same loco, 767. Your exhaust beat sounds nicer than mine - a bit more uneven. Did you set it differently i.e. more load? For a floor layout you have really captured the atmosphere perfectly. Can you swap out the smoke box door for a non Mars light option? I can't on mine - well I could if I could get the alternative door.

[@MPT_Productions]

Sceptr'd Isle thank you! I deepened the chuff by using the labor button. I wish there was one included, but you can still change it.

[@MrLunchHour2]

MPT 1225 I just watched a video of the real #765 and the whistle sound is spot on. Where can I find one of these or was it a built to order item?

[@MPT_Productions]

MrLunchHour2 it sure is. It is built to order, but there should still be some left. Just look up Lionel 6-84687 and you should be able to find some or just look up Lionel Legacy Nickel Plate Road 765.

[@syedowais1607]

Fun fact: The Nickel Plate Road 765 was nicknamed the Joliet Rocket!

[@MPT_Productions]

Yes it pulled the Joliet Rocket

[@southernpacificproductions530]

that's a very pretty engine, is there a way to take the Mars light off like in the previous run of this engine?

[@MPT_Productions]

Thank you very much! There isn’t a separate boiler front included to switch, but I’m sure you can just do the same process and buy a boiler front from Lionel.

[@southernpacificproductions530]

@@MPT_Productions Ah, I see. I'm really asking because I'm thinking of buying one. Don't get me wrong the Mars light looks awesome, but I would like the single headlight as well

If only it had a swinging bell and cylinder and blowdown steam

[@MPT_Productions]

This is not a Vision Line engine, so it is not expected to have every feature. The swinging bell would be very difficult since it is on the front of the locomotive, not on the boiler. Plus, 765’s bell does not swing in real life, so it is more prototypical this way.
