    Whistle #3 is my personal favorite on these magnificent IronHorses from Lionel.

      Will,
      The steam locomotives are definitely works of art. My hobby is saltwater reef tanks but I love trains. I am planning my new hobby - steam locomotive’s. The plan is ho gauge of a collection of cool locomotives and tenders with some specific passenger, chemical and freight cars but as display’s only on sections of track like you have. I have an old 1950’s Lionel set inherited from my dad with the cool Lionel ZW O gauge transformer. I can sell my wife with this proposal but a running layout is not feasible due to space.
      The workmanship, designs, craftsmanship, engineering make these locomotives of the past true art.
      Take care

    Excellent review. I like that you review this as a couple. Always good to get two viewpoints. I appreciate the detail from unpacking to the start-up. The 3985, of course, represented the evolution from the earlier challenger featured in your review so not quite a like comparison. Anyway, keep it coming......

      @will2926  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you! This locomotive is absolutely incredible! I am very impressed with all of the details and sounds! The 3985 comparison was very interesting to see the differences in time. From a Lionel perspective you can see the different paint sprays and extra level Lionel is doing. Happy Railroading!!

      AHHHH!! That's it!!! I couldn't put my ear on that! I'll be honest I don't have that VL locomotive. The only NYC locomotive we have is the VL 5344. Great ear!! Happy Railroading!!!

    I would like first to commend your wife for being a fan and supportive! I personally would not purchase the Locomotive I like the 3985 much more. However it is a beautiful engine like all of them are to me.

    Hey Will and Catherine (Katherine?). Great video and review of the Challenger. It was awesome how you went through all of the features front to back, and the sound set (bells, whistles, crew and tower talk). That looks like an amazing locomotive and I'm looking forward to seeing it run when you have it on your layout. Thanks again and keep up the great work!!

      Thank you!! Kathryn (Lady Lionel) and I really can't wait for our next house!! We are already thinking on how we are going to build our layout! This locomotive was full of great features! Lionel did amazing work with the details and feature on this locomotive. Minus 1 feature this could have been a VL locomotive! Happy Railroading!!

    Its a lovely model, but really don't like this centre rail pick up system, its like going back to the post war old Hornby Double o 3 rail and should be 2 rail, in my view...also the wheel flanges are huge, really toy like, commentary is cheese, just keep it to the loco functions....
