The New Lionel E8s Are Spectacular! Here Is Why!

[@jub856]

Mr. Ben, you’re smiling like the Joker. The excitement you show is hard to contain. We all know the feeling of opening up a shiny new orange box that has just arrived from shipping. Like a true hobbyist, you tossed the instructions aside.

[@clarencedavis9845]

I am into HO scale, and I model the NEW YORK CENTRAL. So you better believe that there are a couple of these in my scale. The color is great and eye catching. Have fun!!!😊

[@iansampson2492]

Great video....never gets old! You a pilot?

[@ferdockm]

Don’t need the packaging; don’t need the plastic wrap; don’t need the instructions. Just get to the engine!! Hahaha you’re great!😅

[@gregleuze6657]

I liked it so much I got it. That Christmas set is nice as well.

[@Pkilznah]

[@markhellman-pn3hn]

[@tommiller9056]

Fantastic!!!

[@trainsNwrestlin]

I went for the Southern Pacific, Amtrak, Christmas, and AC&W. They also I catching, that I had to lol The blue/green color of this just doesn't really do it for me...though have the New York Central from 2019. Good video Ben!

[@collegedad8656]

Kudos on the smell being a 12 on the 1-10 scale🤣 Great buy!

[@odenviking]

nice locos you got i like the color of the a and b unit. 🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪👍👍👍👍👍

[@rennethjarrett4580]

Many years ago MarX made their condensed version of these. Full size is nice...

[@Rammstein45]

Just found your channel. I run N scale, but I love all train review videos. :D Great looking models!

[@Bens_Trains_]

Thank you and welcome to the channel!

[@gregorybolton]

Pretty sweet man!!!

[@LoCoMotiveTimeTravelersDNA]

Great vid my friend ! I like watching you bug out on trains !

[@TheLEMRR]

gorgeous pair!

[@leighjacobs4800]

The Locos look awesome. (I used to HO as a kid and a teenager, and miss it.) After I HS I moved onto....college and airplanes! ERAU Alum. '82 Air Science. DAB. :)

[@davidjackson9317]

I love your channel!

[@Flavoryyapperstrains7725]

I love buying trains budgets are expensive but I still have a good amount of buying trains and more model train goodies! 😎

[@ArcadiaJunctionHobbies]

Smell test! Ha I thought I was the only one who did this. Great review of spectacular models. That shot of them coming from the tunnel with the smoke is so atmospheric and beautifully done.

[@Bens_Trains_]

Thank you!

[@ELWtrains]

Nice 👍 like the color

[@jamesdenny4734]

They look good my man, BUT I only run Lionel trains around the Christmas tree (usually 3 loops). The cost doesn't equal 3-4 weeks of running. Have fun 👍🏼

[@miguelangelgarrido7233]

Hola buenas tardes excelente video abrazo grande e8 locomotora muy buena!!!!

[@therosejewelrailroad489]

I like e units. Missed out on some Pennsylvania e units a while back. I enjoyed your video.

[@rogerstrate5727]

"Discreet packaging", ha ha ha, how many times have I been there and done that? Very beautiful E8's

[@ralphmiller2265]

I love your enthusiasm!! These model trains can be addictive. LOL!!

[@RaysTrains]

Omg… I went to embry riddle in AZ!

[@keithbliss6680]

Beautiful Ben, thanks for sharing! Love your excitement! I love NYC stuff as my late wife worked for New York Central Mutual Insurance Company for a long time. NYCM was named after the NYC railroad that went through the town where they are located.

[@Machia52612]

E8’s are beautiful engines. Congratulations Ben on your new engines!

[@67stingray1]

Amazing opening Ben. Thnx for sharing.

[@GinoACosta]

LOVE THE NEW TRAIN SMELL!!!! Trust me, I know that wonderful feeling ALL TOO WELL!! Orange Box Goodness!! I ordered the Christmas set + all the passenger cars, and I also may order the NY Central set as well!!

[@tomshannon7513]

Congrats Ben, those things are sharp!

[@andykopgod]

Like a child opening his presents on Christmas day 😆💪, the joys of this wonderful hoppy ❤

[@eagleroute3241]

Love that you got a new item for your collection. Just notice your channel, I will be checking you out in the future. I believe you are modeling on your floor. Not for sure if this is going to be a new way of modeling, is this temporary?

[@teschvalleyrailroad]

Cool train, but not gonna lie. Was hoping to see Titan again. :)

[@GinoACosta]

Oh, and yes, I ordered the Lionel Chessie Greenbrier as well, waiting for the matching passenger cars

[@jamesmelchin2873]

Certainly eye openers ! Thanks Ben 👍

[@scotabot7826]

The excitement is Amazing and Contageous!! I love it. Who else waits on the little brown truck with anticipation?? YES!!

[@99thObsidian]

I shortened my bike ride Saturday because I knew the brown truck was coming and they needed my signature! Will post unboxing of Lionel F19 this week.

[@Machia52612]

And the orange box inside the package or under the Christmas tree! 🚂!!

[@lonnieosbourne818]

beautiful units, possibly a little long for my lay out..

[@stevenfd123]

Another entertaining reveal. Those are beautiful locos. You did good Ben.

[@Dakman]

You make a great point about colors. The fantasy trains sells well because of the colors. Yeah unfortunately for those who can't afford new will no longer be able to buy cheaper on the Ebay market used or new. I will check out your live stream when I get a chance sometime.

[@tincanboat]

if you cut a little of the tape on the bottom it will slide out more easily.

[@gregorybolton]

Question , do they come with the center cabless engine That goes between the two engines???

[@sunnysiderails397]

"sneak trains into the house" LOL... Always love your videos, great looking E9's and love the color!!! -Ken

[@WaddlingEngine]

Where do you get the trainz from

[@dwightbuck5664]

What kind of smoke do you use ?

[@Steven_Williams]

Gorgeous set Ben! Have the Amtrak "patch " debut AA set. Remember to Breathe Brother Breathe.😁 "Big ups 👍 from Chicago "Train Dawg"!

[@GoldStandardTrains]

Nice unboxing!! Those came out great.

[@eddiewillers8379]

I've never seen that color before very nice

[@ARMYVETT]

THOSE ARE THE BOMB!!!! CONGRATS BEN. 🙂

[@timothymclaughlin6860]

Wow love the color! They look amazing

[@TwistedMacGyversTrains]

They look beautiful Ben! The color is amazing!😊

[@Bens_Trains_]

They are great!

[@janisjade1]

You're smiling like a butcher's dog when you're opening it. Love it !

[@joeystrains.9316]

Dude, love that color!They will be highly sought after.

[@jimgam]

Those E8’s are fire 🔥 Train World box filled with orange box goodness.🤣🤣🤣

[@DJE2025]

👍👍Very nice!🚂🚂

[@Jared-91]

Amazing! I've seen a couple videos of the NYC version. Yours shows the colors most accurately imo.

[@Bens_Trains_]

Yea I worked really hard to get the lighting just right just in case someone was thinking about getting them. Thank you! 🫡

[@AndrewNeilFalconer]

If there is sound in each locomotive the sounds must be distinct, or they will mute or cancel each other out. Someone at Lionel will have to record and edit more audio of real E8 s.

[@CatonsvilleCentralRwy]

Lionel has done this before. I’ve got a Santa Fe F3 A-B-B-A set from 2018. The powered A and powered B both have the same sound set (the Superbass B has a totally different sound set) but they tuned the two differently/slightly different pitches so there wouldn’t be that resonance. The set sounds fantastic.

[@rudolphward4375]

That is a beautiful engine, however for the money they charge, I would like a little more detail. Example ...these are much better looking and have more detail than there anniversary set...go figure. I have a Lionel legacy Santa Fe #19 with impeccable detail.

[@northpennvalleysteamrailroad]

Amazing review!!

[@gregorybolton]

And is it even available?

[@Basinrails]

They look great!

[@davidwilken3584]

The great thing about trains is, you don’t need to grow up to enjoy them.

[@zacharybrosious2293]

Thankfully it’s not the Christmas version 😂

[@Bens_Trains_]

You never know what may show up here! 😂

[@frankmarkovcijr5459]

It would be nice if the shells were die cast and not plastic.

[@johnnyrocket5285]

They look awesome
