@@craignoll3088 Awesome Craig and Thank You.! 😊 The Trolleys are a lot of fun. Bought my first one back in the 90s when my kids were young. That would be great to meet up at Americas Best next year some time after In moved in. Merry Christmas to you as well and I sure hope 2025 is better than 2024. It’s gotta be.👍🏻
That was a great run! Merry Christmas 🎄

Nice train and store visit mark im happy you was able to get a house just hope the basement has no issues i know most of them do but im sure you checked it already and merry christmas and happy new year to you too my friend 👍🚂🎄
@@LawsonRailway Thank You Brandon.😊 I hope not either.🤔 It’s a full finished basement and it looks like the carpet has been in there a while so I’m hoping for the best.! 🤞🏻 Merry Christmas 🎄
I have 2 lionel switchers which I really enjoy. The motor/ gears are a little noisy similar to older Pullmor motors. Best wishes on your move!
Thank You very much. I have already started moving things over. Now that I have changed the locks I can start moving the train boxes. Have a Merry Christmas to you, your family and a Happy New Year,! 😊
Another SW8 Mark? The SP wasnt good enough? lol Very cool, ya I picked up those atlas hi-cubes too, they are nice. If you didn't pre-order that one, good luck finding it because I looked for another one they are all sold out. Im still waiting for the atlas standard 50' Rail Box cars to come. Be sure there no openings in the new house where Birds can get in...lol Good luck with the new place and layout.😁 Merry Christmas🎄
@@PhilBender612 LOL Phil.😊 Yes, I got sucked into this CNW SW8 a year ago. I agree that if you didn’t pre order the high cubes they sold out fast.😮I’ve been moving a lot out of the apartment and still no sign of the bird remains. That is a mystery how he got in? Merry Christmas to you as well Phil.! 😊🎄👍🏻
3 Congratulations Mark. Really happy for you that you closed on your house and that Basement will give you alot of Options. That's a really good looking Switcher. Nice Paint Scheme and Sounds. Nice Boxcar Also. So will you be living close to this Train Store Mark? Merry Christmas to you 🎅🎄
Thanks Matt. I can’t wait to start building the new layout. Lionel graphics have never disappointed me but a few mechanical issues have. I did choose to buy a different one because of the crew talk sounds. Not as close to the store as I am now. it’s about 8 more miles further away from where I lived staying with Mom so it’s not too bad. Have A Merry Christmas 🎄
Dose of reality. I purchased the RBMN version and sent it back after a couple weeks. Single motor didn't pull squat. Terrible on fast track switches. Electronics started to crap out and it grew a mind of its own. Went in whatever direction it wanted to. Couplers started to fire on their own. What a piece of garbage. Traded it off for another Doodlebug and store credit. Maybe it was a one in a million thing. Maybe not.
Sorry to hear Nick. I’ve had trouble with the single motor and the goofy drive system Lionel is using. Besides not being able to pull much (I found out the hard way breaking a U-Joint on my NYC SW7). The drive train is very finicky and susceptible to damage. This will probably be the last switcher I buy. I couldn’t resist getting the CNW one. I did actually look at another one because the crew talk seemed not to be working correctly. I did end up purchasing another one instead. Glad you got another doodlebug. They are really awesome. Love the engine sounds. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.!
