Lionel has done it again! This time we’re back with a fresh set of colorful E8s that truly provide a POP to any collection! Let’s check it out! #trains #modeltrains #lioneltrains
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.
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.
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!!
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!!!😊
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.
i got an MTH O-scale R-12 NYC subway set (slightly used) ... shortly after i got it, MTH went out of business !! ... NOW, these things are rare - & parts are SUPER rare !!
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.
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. :)
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!
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 👍🏼
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?
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.
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.
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.

I love your enthusiasm!! These model trains can be addictive. LOL!!
"Discreet packaging", ha ha ha, how many times have I been there and done that? Very beautiful E8's

I love buying trains budgets are expensive but I still have a good amount of buying trains and more model train goodies! 😎
Congrats Ben, those things are sharp!
The excitement is Amazing and Contageous!! I love it. Who else waits on the little brown truck with anticipation?? YES!!
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.
And the orange box inside the package or under the Christmas tree! 🚂!!
Great review! I think that pool table days are numbered 😅. Crystal ball 🔮 says bench work is your future. 🚅

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!😅
Wow love the color! They look amazing
Nice unboxing!! Those came out great.
Oh, and yes, I ordered the Lionel Chessie Greenbrier as well, waiting for the matching passenger cars
Congratulations and nice review ! I prefer TH-cam over Instagram, hopefully more videos to come 👍
THOSE ARE THE BOMB!!!! CONGRATS BEN. 🙂
Amazing review!!
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 👍🏼
You're smiling like a butcher's dog when you're opening it. Love it !
They look great!
👍👍Very nice!🚂🚂
I love your channel!
Pretty sweet man!!!
Cool train, but not gonna lie. Was hoping to see Titan again. :)
Amazing! I've seen a couple videos of the NYC version. Yours shows the colors most accurately imo.
Yea I worked really hard to get the lighting just right just in case someone was thinking about getting them. Thank you! 🫡
Dude, love that color!They will be highly sought after.
They look beautiful Ben! The color is amazing!😊
They are great!
Gorgeous set Ben! Have the Amtrak "patch " debut AA set. Remember to Breathe Brother Breathe.😁 "Big ups 👍 from Chicago "Train Dawg"!
beautiful units, possibly a little long for my lay out..
Those E8’s are fire 🔥 Train World box filled with orange box goodness.🤣🤣🤣
if you cut a little of the tape on the bottom it will slide out more easily.
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?
Question , do they come with the center cabless engine That goes between the two engines???
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.

Where do you get the trainz from
What kind of smoke do you use ?
Thankfully it’s not the Christmas version 😂
You never know what may show up here! 😂
And is it even available?
The great thing about trains is, you don’t need to grow up to enjoy them.
Great video....never gets old! You a pilot?
