Sweet Chessie speeder!

Chessie system 👍👍

[@PopPopsTrainRoom]

love it

[@billintex001]

Chessie is a sweet livery. Had one on an F3 as a kid. I like the mini vehicles. I have an MTH hand car and the Lionel LCCA speeder set in MKT and Texas Special liveries. Fun to run. Hand car is bump-n-go reversing so can use on straight spurs with bumpers. Looking for a trolley next. You need a trolley for your upper circle. Like an el-train!

[@CloverdaleTransitAuthority]

I actually have an MTH trolly. I run it on the elevated next week. We use it around the skinny Christmas tree in the dining room on an 0-27 circle.

I love it !!! I have a ballast tamper and track mobile no speeder yet but I want one

[@CloverdaleTransitAuthority]

I want a ballast tamper too! Those are a lot of fun.

Congrats on your very first catalog pre-order. It won't be your last. I have a PRR GP-9 coming in from the volume 1 catalog. It's supposed to be here around York. Ouch!!! Lol.

[@CloverdaleTransitAuthority]

Can't wait to see it. Yeah. Lionel delivering new orders around the time of the Fall York... is it a conspiracy?!

[@Shipwright1918]

Only ever did one pre-order myself, a PRR Lionchief 4-4-0. Not much of a fan of the preorder/built to order system as I think it encourages high prices by limiting the production runs. That being said, I don't regret doing so, as the dealer I went through got me a good discount on it, and I ultimately enjoy the engine I bought.

New is boring, stick with used, that`s where the challenge is, and it`s affordable.

[@CloverdaleTransitAuthority]

@@plunkervillerr1529 that's true. But I wanted the experience of ordering something from the catalog. Plus I really love having a speeder on the railroad.
