Lionel N&W 1218 excursion to NYC

This is a very special video celebrating reaching 400 subscribers on my KZbin channel. I present to you Craigs new Lionel Visionline N&W #1218 2-6-6-4 steam locomotive. Check out the detail, sound, and smoke effects of this beautiful model steam engine. It heads up a string of Norfolk & Western streamlined Powhatan Arrow passenger cars. This fictional excursion train to New York City is set on Craigs awesome South Fork O-scale railroad. I believe the passenger cars are 18" MTH Premier. Hope you enjoy this video and thanks to all my channel subscribers. I welcome your comments and suggestions for future content. Look for a Harpers Ferry II layout update video soon.

God I love the Y6B's, they're amazing.

Awesome locomotive and consist. Your layout is looking really good too. Keep up the great work!

[@99thObsidian]

Thanks JD. But to be clear, this layout and engine belongs to my train friend Craig. While I helped him with the design and some of the build the NYC concept and scenery is all his. I'm just a model railfan lucky enough to live nearby. Look for an update on my Harpers Ferry layout soon.

Superb! 👏😊 (Looking forward to seeing updates on your layout)..

Beautiful that locomotive.

[@99thObsidian]

I have the MTH version and was tempted to upgrade. The Lionel model in this video belongs to my friend. I really like the wheel slip sound and extra smoke features.

Glad you think so!

[@Sams_Trains]

That layout looks awesome! New subscriber here, I can't wait to see more on Craig's layout, and your own!

[@99thObsidian]

Sam, thank you so much for subscribing. I really appreciate the positive comments. My subs are who I create content for. I’ve been building bridges on my layout this winter and will publish an update video soon. Craig has done an awesome job adding scenery to his layout. I really like that he has a triple mainline which makes it safer to run swing out articulated steam engines in opposite directions.

[@Sams_Trains]

@@99thObsidian Sounds awesome! Can't wait to see it. I wish I had room for a triple main, but double works well enough for me

[@99thObsidian]

@@Sams_Trains Most of my layout designs feature double line mains. My Harpers Ferry II plan will have double lines. One of the biggest layouts I designed has a triple line main. Check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6SphnidYpKml80
