Lionel Southern Pacific E9 AA Set Review

[@SkoglandChris]

Thanks. Think I'll buy a set!!

[@PriestBrosLines]

Yes. you should!

[@SkoglandChris]

I ordered a set from Trainworld. Glad I did. Thanks!!

[@PriestBrosLines]

They are very nice. Quite a unique engine to add to my collection. I hope you enjoy yours.

[@TwistedMacGyversTrains]

Congrats on your latest acquisitions. Looks and sounds amazing!😊

[@PriestBrosLines]

Thank you. It is nice to see these E9s in another paint scheme.

[@TwistedMacGyversTrains]

I completely agree with you.

[@howardgriffin2966]

Really nice, I also ordered the southern pacific still waiting. Thanks for sharing.

[@PriestBrosLines]

You will not be disappointed.

It's very interesting seeing this locomotive in the bloody nose paint scheme since it wears the Daylight scheme nowadays (and when it was delivered). The horn on the model represents the Nathan M5R24 (R24 meaning the #2 and #4 bells are reversed, while the #1,#3, and #5 bells are forward). This is best represented by the 1st horn selection. These are great models, but I agree with you about the trailing unit 6053 not having sound. I personally would take the extra sound over more motors, especially in this case. Love all the detail on these models (at least for how much there is on a streamlined diesel) and the winterization hatches are a cool touch. Always great seeing new videos Colby! I get closer and closer to making my own some day.

[@PriestBrosLines]

I hope I can convince you fully soon. I love seeing these in the Bloody Nose scheme as they were painted like this later in the 60s. Thanks for the info on the horn.

[@DennyDreadBassMan]

Sweet! Southern Pacific is one of my favorite road names.

[@PriestBrosLines]

You have great taste.

[@deweyhall712]

The hobo union approves of this video, and will setup a hobo camp on a layout near you..😊😊😊

[@PriestBrosLines]

I'll have to clear some grass for a future camp site.

[@joeystrains.9316]

Awesome looking SPs! I like the bloody nose SP paint scheme. Thanks for pulling freight cars, E units are meant for passenger cars but they look great pulling freight!

[@PriestBrosLines]

Yeah. I watched some videos of the E9s and they always pulled passenger. Guess I need to get some silver and red coaches to go with them. But the freight does look cool.

[@austint918]

I ordered the quad cities rocket set can’t wait for that to come in it’s got the rock island independence E8 652.

[@PriestBrosLines]

I'm sure those will be really cool. These are really big engines

[@MrGeroth]

I sure wish you had a bigger layout. Not complaining but a larger layout would enhance your engines.

[@genemanno1533]

Or engines that are shorter length.

[@PriestBrosLines]

I wish I did too. As for all of us, we are limited by the space that we have. For me, all I have is half a 2 car garage available. Maybe that will change 1 day

[@CornerFieldHobbyRailfan]

Horn #1 is a Nathan M5. Horn #2 is a K5LLA. Horn #3 is a S3L. Horn #4 is a P3. Horn #5 is an A200. #1 & #5 would be most accurate for an E8.

[@PriestBrosLines]

YES! This is one thing I love about this YT community. Thank you for the info and your trained ear.

[@CornerFieldHobbyRailfan]

@PriestBrosLines You are most welcome!!! I'm a big train horn fan. Just trying to help.

[@PriestBrosLines]

@@CornerFieldHobbyRailfan You are doing a good job of it.

[@CornerFieldHobbyRailfan]

@PriestBrosLines Thank You!!

[@paulkhoury3160]

Somewhat surprised they'd use a K5LLA. Didn't that come out more recently, like in the last 15-20 years? I would've thought the K5LA would be more accurate (I bought a K5LLA, hated it and changed out the 1L for another bell - maybe it was a 5?). Nonetheless, horn #2 sounds really good on this recording, though. The S3L doesn't sound that great in this recording, the A200 sounds spot on though, and the M5 and P3 sound fantastic.

[@paulkhoury3160]

Is your headlight LED flickering, or is that just the camera? Or is it trying to mimic a mars light?

[@PriestBrosLines]

The top is a Mars light so it does flicker. However, sometimes the frame rate of the camera does weird things to LEDs

[@tom25pa]

I don't think the magnets in the top of hatches are actually is magnetic, I have the green NYC ones, doesn't seem to hold down on mine

[@PriestBrosLines]

Hmm. Mine seem to fit nice but are easy to remove.

[@gustavovasile428]

GREAT!!!

[@edwinsinclair9853]

Horn #1 is closest to what the Espee units had.

[@PriestBrosLines]

Excellent. The Nathan horn right? Thank you for your knowledge.
