These Lionel locomotives are actually made by the folks who made some of the finest brass locomotives back in the heydays of brass. They still do the occasional hybrid projects for some well known importers. All around, Lionel and their supply partners have done a stellar job over the last few decades to produce the great lineup we have today.

The shot of all the locos running is possibly one of the best if not THE best thing i have ever seen in my life. It would be a railfan’s dream to see all of these locos all in the same place. It would have been amazing to hear these behemoths all running at the same time. Though, due to my autism, i would absolutely hate the noise, because autistic people get very overstimulated in loud environments. If you overwhelm even ONE of their senses, they’ll start looking very uncomfortable with the situation presented to them.

Thanks Chris, that video brightened up an otherwise dreary day here in the Richmond VA area! Snow, sleet, yuck! That Lionel 2-10-10-2 certainly works better than the original ever did! The originals soured the Santa Fe on articulateds, so much so that to my knowledge they never operated any others again. Turns out the didn't need to anyway. The Virginian on the other hand had ten very successful 2-10-10-2's built in 1918 by Alco that lasted until the 1940's. Best whistle? I like the Santa Fe's one, it's a bit more melodic than the Big Boys. And I loved that Santa Fe "Railfest" you put on! Even the "Blue Goose" showed up! Cool!

I recently found out that a boiler on steam trains is only really securely fixed at the back by the firebox. I always thought it was unique to articulated steam trains, but it turns out that MOST steam trains are securely fixed only at the back of the steam train. some may have "supports" along them, but most of the weight is beared further back. they are designed that way so that as the boiler grows and shrinks from heating and cooling, it has a place to go. according to my source, it also helps with traction in some way as it puts more weight on the drivers. idk if that last one is particularly true, but I know the first is the main one
