I love how the baggage car has the casket inside with the American flag over it

[@NorCalRailfanner]

noice

[@aj3751]

Kinda morbid, but also a nice touch

[@russellstrainzone2384]

You have no idea how much I love trains 🚂

[@TobyPasman]

Chessie has a cute meow. 🥰

[@Ericstrains]

Thanks!

[@Noah_Ciquera]

@@Ericstrains yeah Eric, she does

[@infiniteflyer2178]

The horn is perfect on this locomotive. And when it's quilled it's even better. Lionel do the horn perfectly

[@skiiipawbs]

Chessie really does love her trains!

[@kevinking5406]

Running another set while doing a review is an AWSOME touch. It seems to compliment the set under review. I'd like to see more of that.

[@tracynation239]

Another excellent video showing. Hello again from the Tracy Mountain Railway in Colorado. ♡ T.E.N.

[@nathancorcoran5347]

Great video. Rest In Peace to George H. W. Bush. 😔

[@Ericstrains]

Thanks!

[@angelhelp6819]

Hi EricI like that video what you receive the train said and I quote of is very fabulous I can't wait for you to put it on and run it and I knew video it take you long time to finish that make that big layout best of luck 😁👍☘️✌️

[@Ericstrains]

Cool, thanks

[@Cruiseangel72]

Wow the president engine is GORGEOUS!!

[@IansTrains]

That baggage car is cool. I would buy it because I’m from Michigan

[@TobyPasman]

I’m originally from Michigan

[@MrNJT]

Nice to see that tinplate set and the 4141 on a great layout! Thank you Eric!

[@1940limited]

I didn't even know there was a Herbert Walker funeral train. Thanks for the enlightenment.

[@Surfliner450]

This is nice! I just got new D&RGW F7’s from Lionel.

[@jamesnull5415]

Awesome train and layout! Man, that’s really good bluegrass music in the background. Great job on the presentation!!🇺🇸

[@bradstrains]

That funeral train is gorgeous. Nice horn on the SD70ACe as well.

[@DennyDreadBassMan]

You named your cat Chessie, cool! Both trains are beautiful. Now if they would make a set for 036 curves.

[@stephendrivick840]

Cat : "I want the boxes" :)

[@taylorbaggarleyunionpacifi5399]

Your so awesome Eric I love visit your layout someday my layout coming along just lot of work get done and lots train pictures of my area

[@andyoreo333]

Cool I saw 41s train go by to the funeral, it was really impressive.

[@dylan_talleyy]

Me too! Magnolia, TX. Got about 20 feet from the tracks.

[@vincentvanpaepeghem4844]

Great video Eric! The George Bush set is awesome! Thanks for sharing! Have a great and awesome day!

[@kennymcgowan2880]

Very nice set both the president. Train set and the other

[@oologahnorthernrailroad8873]

I have 4141 in HO from Athearn. Beautiful model! Awesome video, and can’t wait for the reviews, and have a good one!

[@246spyder]

It also has the right amount of fans of his.

[@jamesnull5415]

Very, very nice. Thank you. 🇺🇸

[@henryszubielski8601]

Great looking trains on a great looking layout!

[@Ericstrains]

Many thanks!

[@goldenfreddy0142]

The SD70ACe 4141 is a beautiful collectible locomotive for anyone.

[@TouchoftheBrushModelWeathering]

Beautiful models Eric!

[@josephcirillo5292]

Finally got time to sit and enjoy this review. Still love you sense of humor Eric. Boxing and re-boxing. Bush train looked great running around the track. Would love to see the full review of this and the MTH version. Add bonus was seeing those state cars. Love 'em. They look great!!!!

[@samuelt3236]

If you do a reboxing video, we would still watch it.

[@tonyarsenault4256]

Beautiful train but I dont want anybodys funeral train on my Layout. Love your cat !

[@RamtheDaugterDodgetheFather]

Nothing like opening new trains. I just got the MTH Strasburg 7 piece set and it’s amazing

[@Ericstrains]

Nice!

[@RamtheDaugterDodgetheFather]

ericstrains also love the videos and your layout is amazing. Just started using your tutorial videos, they are extremely helpful.

[@ibslacking9102]

Just waiting for mine to show up . Looks great

[@samuelt3236]

I’m going to name a horse David, after Norfolk Southern.

[@ericwilliams2619]

Eric I truly enjoyed your video on the George w Bush train awesome video could you do more unboxing videos you are very professional and has lots of train knowledge God bless you and your family

[@miguelangelgarrido7233]

hola buen dia muchas gracias por el video abrazo grande

[@FranzFerdinandVIII]

(25.Jul.2020) i still have the boxes for the two pieces of O-Gauge rolling stock i have from almost a year ago.

[@dennisfly1]

state set Nice!

[@Chessie1985]

Nice set Eric!!!!

[@railfanjk8964]

nice video

[@Kaithelegoguy]

Man I wish I was in your place

[@tjprptchable]

Awsome video I like wen you make videos that are diffrent like unboxing, repairing, and more.

[@Ericstrains]

Cool, thanks!

[@ErikVince]

Chessie wants the boxes to lay in

[@Ericstrains]

HA

[@marcloosevelt8277]

Beautiful set but an observation you have the baggage car and or casket backwards. The stars of the flag of the casket are at the head. All movement of the casket should be feet first, so the casket should be moving in the other direction.

[@Ericstrains]

ok thanks

[@quintinthemississippirailfan]

Cool

[@TraintechGaming]

Can't wait for the review

[@bus4_64]

Chessie is a cutie!!!!!

[@KevinsTrainsGLE]

Very nice set. Like Menards has Jack the German Shepard on most of their structures, Chessie should make an appearance, even if briefly, in every video.

[@Ericstrains]

Thanks!

[@tallishyeti2756]

That’s a good looking set. Wish I could afford it

[@cruisinjoe]

I am normally not a fan of Human death rituals (preferring the Klingon death scream for Trekkies) but the funeral train is interesting.

[@trainlover9943]

Awesome! Would love to hear what the sounds diner for the state set sounds like!

[@BowlingKaleOswalt]

You need to do another layout tour!

[@microbusss]

yes but UP 4141 was made while HW Bush was alive & UP used in freight service for a while heck I got pix of it on a BNSF train as it was doing switching on BNSF tracks! if you read any articles that say "4141 was only used for special occasion" thats a darned LIE!! the flag on the coffin only has 48 stars!

[@JunePN]

Nice video😍👏👍😍

[@davidstrainsandlego]

I'm still waiting for my new ns et44c4 . My old one was broken when I got it

[@felixthetrainfan4819]

Great job eric ;)

[@garyengland7177]

cheese named after cheesapeack railroad

[@ironhorsemedia2881]

For 4141 The darker blue looks too dark. And it has the wrong horn and bell, im sure it’s so Lionel doesn’t have to make it different than the other ones they put out.

[@Maximilian7992]

I think I already know what your BFIMO is for the George HW Bush set

[@katerinakittycat3849]

I know this is a bit off topic but your "Christmas Bonanzas" inspired me to do something similar with Planet Coaster. Only my Christmas Bonanza will be 25 videos long and run from December 1st to Christmas day. If you're not sure what planet coaster Is it's a computer game where you build amusement parks

[@TexasRailfan21-RailfanRyan]

The 4141 has been donated to the George HW Bush public library for a static display By Union Pacific I have to say in real life the 4141 has a mechanical bell not an E bell

[@kristalkat7939]

The George hw Bush diesel was escorted by the big boy 4014 to college station Will it be cool for you to hook that diesel up to the big boy 4014

[@Masonbuck824]

Are you up to see the George Bush 4141 Estes 70 ACE Heritage unit the fall locomotive 4141 during his funeral train

[@whitewolfar1174]

I have a question can a newer Lionel train run on older style track I was wondering if you can answer that question or make a video.

[@aj3751]

A lot of these trains can, but you need wide curves. Other than that, all you need is a transformer and track

[@trainstorm1225]

Love the 4141! I own MTH’s in HO scale and I absolutely love it. Also, I’d Chessie named after the Chessie System? 😂

[@Ericstrains]

yes he is

[@dtrail3276]

Eric, when you said knife I thought it was "Knife" to see you again. Edit: did I spell that correct?

[@TheArtmaster67]

I'm not sure wht happen the tender coal just low in 11:11 there.

[@tjprptchable]

That train has that feature the coal is rubber and there is like some type of motor that sucks it in it's very neat

[@larryarcher4502]

Expansion set ads another dimension to your electric looks more complete

[@Ericstrains]

Yep

[@tysmodeltrains8488]

You know it would be cool if you did a running session of the president funeral trains such as George Bush and Lincoln

[@yankeesandy2545]

Eric I hate to be that guy but all that footage at the end is new footage

[@JLozdrummin]

Are you shooting 59.97 fps? Looks it because it's too HD that ur layout and trains are too perfect looking so it doesn't look realistic. You can see the plastic details on ur trains. Try 29.97 fps it'll look more realistic. Great set up, love your vids.

[@gfaverill]

Is there a body in the casket?

[@piedmontrailproductions4046]

I live in North Carolina

[@adamzap5507]

I had a thought about the diaphragms on the state set cars, maybe they don’t come already installed because the original set never had any. Not sure, just my thought.

[@Ericstrains]

perhaps. I think it's more of a curve thing though based on past sets.

[@Blueesteel_]

I wanted the trump one bad!!!!

[@men4skirts]

Nice set will we see the whole set running on track soon?

[@AIRSOFT24503]

You should have gotten the trump train!

[@timothydemarco3525]

when is eric going to upload a new video

[@davidspencer8373]

Hay

[@njandparailfan6332]

Leave it to Lionel to put the bell on the wrong side on the 4141

[@Ericstrains]

What's life without a mistake or two

[@njandparailfan6332]

ericstrains you have a point, but models that cost big bucks should have the bell in the right place 😂

[@Ericstrains]

From the pictures I’ve seen the bell looks like it’s in the right place, unless I’m missing something. upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/ee/Union_Pacific_4141.jpg

[@njandparailfan6332]

ericstrains oh wow I never saw the bell on that side, interesting

[@seanstrains6090]

What size curves do the diesel and cars run on

[@tracynation239]

0-54. ♡ T.E.N.

[@mrnoname9813]

I have a question I have a conventional layout with a Lionel ZW-C transformer and I want to put DCS on it but still be able to run conventional trains. How would I do that

[@tracynation239]

DPDTCO switch between transformer and digital with output to track or to track section switches. Double Pole, Double Throw, Center Off. Hello from the Tracy Mountain Railway in Colorado. ♡ T.E.N.

[@mrnoname9813]

Thanks, good to know

[@jodysmith8048]

I wounder why you didn't go with the MTH version of the George W. Bush

[@Ericstrains]

Didn't feel like it.

[@alexpennington7581]

How much did it cost you?

[@railramsay9025]

Ironically I would watch a re-boxing video from you, eric

[@TRAIN110ValleyProductions]

12:12 what video was this? just curious

[@jballard3253]

Just 1 comment - is the baggage car on "reversed"? If you turned it around is the flag behind the engine? Reason why I ask is when the flag is displayed on moving vehicles, although "left is by the book here", the stars are "usually" on the leading edge of the movement of the vehicle, even though it is not correct. You see this on the right side of trucks & buses and also when worn on the right sleeve of uniforms.

[@Ericstrains]

J Ballard yeah I’ve got a problem with running baggage cars backwards

[@Trainboy587]

Review the lionel legacy greyhpund union pacific big boy #4012

[@brendanniernberg1189]

Love the new stuff Eric! How much does the George W. Bush set retail for?

[@katerinakittycat3849]

Like everything else Lionel makes that's legacy command it can't be cheap

[@brendanniernberg1189]

@Katerina Kittycat So true, lol.

[@mistermadmachine6311]

😮

[@zdthelehighlinerailfan5362]

Eric.. Did You Use a Cam on Your Head I don't know if it's a GoPro That You're Using??

[@Ericstrains]

Yes I did

[@Cfox2000]

Lionel States that the engine has a special “Hail to the chief” effect when running in legacy mode. Eric, were you able to get it to do this?

[@Ericstrains]

6:32

[@Cfox2000]

ericstrains I couldn’t remember if you mentioned this in the Patreon video

[@Ericstrains]

Cfox2000 oh yeah, no I didn’t mention it. Wanted to save to for the full review. It does have hail to chief though.

[@Cfox2000]

ericstrains thanks! Awesome

"Hail to the Chief, he's the Chief he needs hailing." ♡ T.E.N.

Loco force one

[@adamschwenk2597]

How much did you're o gauge locomotives cost? I want to start my new o gauge layout

[@Ericstrains]

A lot

[@Ericstrains]

It really just depends on what your wanting to buy. A locomotive like this costs about $600.

[@jerzeydolphins]

Eric any Price difference with the new laws placed on China , any change whatsoever with shipping also

[@Ericstrains]

No idea what the effect will be.

[@chrisrobertson8214]

Rule #1- always cut away from your body when using a knife and/or razor blade. Be safe and demonstrate safe cutting habits.

[@Ericstrains]

I insist on cutting towards my body at all times.

[@chrisrobertson8214]

@@Ericstrains Not safe, be a good role model. Still enjoy your videos!

[@rc4lifebnsf]

Plz Lionel make a trump train !!!!

[@tracynation239]

He has to die for them to make a funeral train. (Trump joke here.) ♡ T.E.N.
