Lionel Legacy Pennsylvania 0-6-0 B6SB Steam Locomotive switcher

Hi train friends! Today I wanted to share this awesome little Lionel legacy PRR 0-6-0 switcher. Watch as this awesome sounding steamer pushes and pulls as it does yard duties moving some ore cars and slag car by the furnace. Thanks as always for watching, commenting, liking and subscribing!

Too cool video Nick!! Very handsome switcher , and I really love that whistle and slag pots as well. Caught a glimpse of that tree swing. Very nice touch. Thanks for sharing!

[@PghTrainFanatic]

Thanks so much Steven! Yeah if you keep your eyes open during some videos you may see a glimpse of what is to come in the next layout update. But I am "hiding a few things to reveal all at once! 😃

[@chucksmodelrailroad]

Looks awesome Nick. That a lot of locomotive packed into a small package. Great smoke and sound. Nice addition buddy!!!

[@PghTrainFanatic]

Thanks Chuck! The b6 is awesome dude! I love every little inch of this steamer! Lol. 😄

[@johnstup4479]

That's a neat little switcher. Good whistle too. Thanks for posting up.

[@PghTrainFanatic]

Thanks John! Much appreciated!

[@1800clyde]

Love the lil’ steamer switchers

[@ajmayowskijr]

Beautiful engine Nick. That little switcher is loaded with features. Layout is looking real good, I love the tire swing. The trains look great with the tank and helicopter loads.

[@PghTrainFanatic]

Thank you very much Al!! This little guy is a great locomotive. It's not that it's better than my mth version, but I'm just more of a Lionel guy and I lean toward legacy engines more. I think I'm going to sick to that for the future and do less mth. Just my personal preference. Nothing wrong with mth.

[@mjc6184]

Quite a gem you have there, Nick! Congrats and enjoy!

[@PghTrainFanatic]

Thank you very much Mike! Take care buddy!

[@N182NS]

Great run session Nick it looks and sounds great

[@PghTrainFanatic]

Much appreciated Nick! It's a nice little switcher!

[@PeterCPRail8748]

Another great run. Nice loco.

[@PghTrainFanatic]

Thanks so much Peter!

[@wurlitzer1538]

Looks like a fun one to run. Have fun with it!

[@PghTrainFanatic]

It's is fun! I like being able to navigate some tighter spots on the layout and push or pull cars with this cool little guy! Thanks!

[@pnw_oscale]

Sweet little engine Nick! I'm going to go pick mine up this week!

[@PghTrainFanatic]

You'll love it Bruk! They're fun to move cars around with! 👍🏻

[@pnw_oscale]

+PghTrainFanatic i got mine last Tuesday and i love the little guy, i love the whistle they put on it.

[@Chessie1985]

Awesome video and love the new steam engine Nick!

[@PghTrainFanatic]

Thanks Jeff! Something a little different for the layout and the video was done differently as well. Thanks again!

[@Chessie1985]

Your welcome Nick!

[@guyholloway8677]

That's a cool engine Nick

[@PghTrainFanatic]

Thanks so much Guy!

[@BrodieProductions412]

Nice job nick I love the B6 and it almost has the same whistle from the cc2 but a different tone

[@PghTrainFanatic]

Thank you Ethan! You read my mind with the whistle being almost the same as the cc2. I was running them together yesterday so I posted a comparison video.

[@BrodieProductions412]

that's nice

[@byates59]

AWESOME video and engine Nick!!!!!!!!!!! Love the whistle on that bad boy, it sounds a lot like the vision line CC2, sweet smoke unit too, that tall thin stack really shoots the smoke up there! Also love the yellow hand rails on the tender, they look terrific and that is why I also ordered #5244 yesterday, after seeing a few of these on youtube I could not help myself LOL Anyways, thanks for the video bud, have a great one, and keep those trains rolling!

[@PghTrainFanatic]

Thanks for the awesome compliment billy Y! You're gonna love the little b6 switcher. It's a fun way to pull or push cars around the layout. And it is a great smoker indeed. And the whistle does sound like the cc2 except the b6 has a more raspy sound, especially between the 2nd and 3rd level of the whistle. Has a cool echo too

[@hakim-rashidabdul-malik4388]

I have that same model of that locomotive except mine ho scaled and it's from Bachmann trains.

[@MrEngineergeorge]

Nick, Great video all around. Just a whole lot of stuff happening everywhere!!!! What a little workhorse the B6SB is.

[@PghTrainFanatic]

Thanks George! The b6 is a must have for steam rail yard operations! Lol

[@northpennvalleysteamrailroad]

Nice!!

[@escape150]

The engine looks great Nick......beautiful engine!!!!!.....Great video!!!!!

[@PghTrainFanatic]

Thank you very much Ron! Lionel did a great job on these. Hard to believe how they packed all the legacy electronics into that little frame! Thanks again my friend! 🚂😃👍🏻

[@Building_America]

That is an awesome little engine Nick. I love the whistle! Looks like things were very busy on the PIRR when you shot this video...lots of steam power. Good luck with your new engine.

[@PghTrainFanatic]

Thank you very much Darren! You know everything before it hits the tube anyways but I know you're just as excited as I am when there's a newbie! Lol. Thanks buddy!

[@Porschedude8]

Amazing switcher indeed! Nice detailing too! Thanks loads!!

[@PghTrainFanatic]

Thank you very much! An enjoyable little steamer to run!

[@RailFoxMedia]

I love that western accent in the crew talk. "Rager" lol

[@MPT_Productions]

PVMWildcatMJ12190 lol ya

[@6709ify]

Gorgeous steam locomotive. I'm getting the MTH A-5 0-4-0 Switcher for my railroad. It's hard to have a freight service on your railroad without a switcher engine.

[@PghTrainFanatic]

Thanks Taylor! I've been waiting for Lionel to make a little PRR switcher for a while so I was pleased these came out. MTH makes a great product also....you'll like that A-5 👍🏻

[@mamanbear1667]

Great slow speed control on the switcher- still a great layout. Any plans to put some lights on that great steel plant?

[@PghTrainFanatic]

Thank you sir! Actually I have plans to eventually rebuild the steel mill. Right now I can't start that big of a project because I'm in the middle of another non related project I'm working on.

[@maxrailroad]

First! Awesome engine! I might get one. How much are they?

[@PghTrainFanatic]

Thanks Max! They're nice little switchers! Run around $599 from a decent dealer. Msrp is 699

[@logancooper6418]

4:11 man that Sherman looks lonely :P Anyways keep up the good work :3

[@PghTrainFanatic]

Yeah one lonely little Sherman lol. Thanks! 👍🏻

[@coopertroopa44]

Hey Nick! Great video. Love that whistle. Quick question for you though. Is there a wire going from the engine to the tender or is that some sort of deck plate? I really can't tell. I was thinking about getting the PRSL version, but I'm really not a fan of wires between the engine and tender.

[@PghTrainFanatic]

Hi Matt! Thank you for the nice comment. Yes this engine has a wired tender. Lionel advertised it in the catalog as a tethered tender connections which improves electrical contact and helps with slow speeds. I can tell you I have some smaller mth engine that have wireless tether and they have issues on some bends and even going over 072 switches. I think Lionel did the right thing here. It runs like a champ. No issues.

[@coopertroopa44]

+PghTrainFanatic Yeah as you replied I just saw someone asked you the same question. My bad. lol! Either way, not a deal breaker. I was just curious because on the website it shows it as a wireless tether and yet in the description it says "tethered drawbar connect.." www.lionel.com/products/pennsylvainia-legacy-scale-b6sb-0-6-0-steam-locomotive-5244-6-82307 Gotta love when Lionel contradicts itself. Thanks for clearing it up for me.

[@PghTrainFanatic]

+Matt Cooper you're welcome Matt! Could we expect anything less? Lol

[@RichardJR1361]

Great engine. I notice it doesn't have a wireless tether. I wonder why.

[@PghTrainFanatic]

Thanks Richard! Actually Lionel published in the catalog that these little switchers would have a tethered drawbar for improved connection and electrical pickup and for low speed running.

[@RichardJR1361]

That does make sense cause when ever my Lionel PRR a5 0-4-0 94 with wireless draw bar would go over my 0-36 fast track manual switch it would bounce and skip a chuff. It was a good idea at first cause it looked more realistic so I guess Lionel is playing it smart by going back to the original idea.

[@PghTrainFanatic]

+Richard Lindao (Richard's Trains) yeah I have a couple smaller MTH engines with that same wireless tether and it drives me nuts going around bends and over some of my 036 switches. Also the MTH wireless tether sucks to begin with, but Lionel's is better with the infrared sensors.

[@RichardJR1361]

PghTrainFanatic Yeah. The wireless tether in the smaller engines from both companies can use some improvements. They'll both get it right eventually.

[@6709ify]

By the way, how strong are these little steamers? I'm asking because I don't want for these engines to be weak just because they're small since I'm getting a little 0-4-0 MTH A-5. I hope that they can pull at least 25-30 freight cars. Anything less would be a little on the weak side.

[@noahbloom2300]

Layout up date pleses

[@PghTrainFanatic]

Hi Noah. I will be getting around to a layout update soon. I made a list of what I want done before I make it and my list has shrunk so you'll see a layout update pretty soon!
