I rode the 20th Century Limited to Chicago as a 14 year old boy in 1962. I remember it's beautiful dining car and its famous blueberry pancakes. It was a special trip.
Hearing the whistles I really like number 2 . Just a gorgeous set! You can keep the journey of Timmy and any crew talk. The engine sounds are good enough for me.
Excellent video my friend! So glad Lionel finally brought this icon back! Personally the color in person is amazing and makes those drive wheels pop! Team NYC all the way!
I’m gonna go with Whistle #2! That deep tone is a sound we don’t usually hear, makes this set unique, and MAN DOES IT SOUND COOL!!!! Awesome review Chris!
The detail on this engine is vision level. Its a stunning set. I have the full set as well and you cant help but smile when you see it. And for those who are bothered by the paint, I’m sure lionel will do future runs. Great video Chris, keep up the good work👍🏼
I'm really digging the 2nd whistle. My Daylight has that same whistle actually. Such an amazing train. 15 years (2008 - 2023) of standing by and the signal finally shows green! This thing is like the Buzz Lightyear of Lionel in terms of how some shops are yet to order enough engines to meet demand. And the competition is fierce. This year, Lionel released the newest gen Vision Line Big Boy and the SRC/GW 90, but that speedy little streamliner just kicked all their tenders! I wonder how this will look in Polar Express colors-- OH WAIT.
Great Review! I love The Dreyfuss Hudson, And The Entire Set! This is something Everybody Has Been Waiting On. (Also Love The New Intro) I'm Team New York Central
Number 3 is my favorite whistle, but they’re all outstanding. I do think the set is too light a shade of grey. There are color photos of the 1938 Century and the prototype was closer to the MTH version. But still a gorgeous set. You have a fantastic layout to run it on, Chris!
Hi Chris! This was a wonderful video of one of my favorite locomotives, the J3a Hudson by itself is a beautiful and iconic locomotive, but, the Dreyfus takes the cake for me. These are beautiful models, I agree, the Lionel Legacy version paint looks a little light to me but it's a gorgeous locomotive nonetheless. All the whistles are great but I like number 1 for this locomotive. Thanks Chris!
Nice looking set! As a kid in the sixties i took the 20th Century Ltd.with my parents to Chicago for Christmas, we boarded at Croton Harmon NY. Great memories . Greetings from Port Saint Lucie, Florida! Yuletide greetings as well !
Great action with gorgeous trains. I especially enjoyed the vibrant color you threw in with the Pacemaker Mohawk (?) and matching freight set. Really fun video, and BTW, I prefer whistle #2.
Number 3 is my favorite just a beautiful train wow I just subscribed to your channel can't wait to checkout all your videos wonderful layout love it great job!
What a beautiful trainset. I go for whistle #2 but really, #1 and #3 are also just totally fantastic !! And I'm in team NYC ... but that can change every second because the PRR T1 is also so amazing ... oh my. All those choices. This video makes me really want to build a huge double-track oval layout so I can set up a train race like that! 😃
Got to ride the Broadway limited from Harrisburg, Pa to Chicago..twice! Once to Navy boot camp in 1966, and a round trip on business in the late 70’s. Private rooms both trips.
After opening mine and setting it up today, I have to say I really like it! I don’t see any issues with the passengers marching the loco. It’s a keeper
Despite being an N gauge guy, I always enjoy watching your videos. (maybe I'm actually an O gauge guy at heart) For reference, Hudson and 8 passenger cars are 60" total length in N scale.
BEAUTIFUL!!! What an awesome run of toy train thoroughbreds! My fave would be the NYC over the Pennsy and as for the Dreyfuss’s whistle, I’m kind of liking the second one.
I'm normally more of a PRR fan, but the NYC Hudsons were some of the most beautiful locomotives in the history of railroading. A shame none of these survived in real life, but glad we're still getting such good models of them.

Number 2 is my favorite as well. It's one of my favorite engines!
@@Tattooedtrainsthose JLC Big boy whistles give some nostalgia
I like whistle number 3! I love Timmy. Sounds just like me as a kid. Timmy's entire story is amazing. Timmy, use your manners!
I wonder how many kids like him who remember the glory days of rail travel are still around? I'm betting some of them served in WW2 around that time.
Whistle 2, I just love deeper toned whistles, also the deeper whistle makes the engine sound more prominent like its the boss
I’m going with whistle 2. This set looks absolutely GORGEOUS!! Merry Christmas to all model railroaders🎄🚂
I’d have to agree with you on that!
Merry Christmas to you too!
Excellent video my friend!

Beautiful BRO!! Sound great, looks great, RAVE ON MAN,AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, COOL!!😀😃😄😁😆🤟🤘👍👍🚂🚂🚂🚂
I am definitely on the PRR team. I like whistle #2. Great looking train set for a NYC train.
4:43 Same here. If I was a billionaire. I would build a replica of an NYC Hudson. Like the Commodore Vanderbilt.
With the whistle I love the second one da best😊
Talking about the colors, I see it. But with everything lionel, it grows on you. I like it.
Whistle #2 is preety much my favorite!

Whistle 3 is the NYC Whistle. Go with that one!
Congratulations! Yeah, that's your favorite train you must be pretty excited.
Seriously a beautiful train i really understand why its u favorite...😎😎
I'm really digging the 2nd whistle. My Daylight has that same whistle actually.

Beautiful engine and train. I like Whistle number 2.
Awesomeness, that is all I will say
I love the 20th Century Limited!
I love this new legacy loco and I want it it looks so cool and exclusive I love this locomotive the whistles are perfect on it.
i love the 20th Century Limited.
The Dreyfuss is definitely one of my top favorite steam engine! It's whistle is so unique!
Beautiful set! and whistle #2
I will agree …. Your Hudson is beautiful but the SP Daylight is my beauty.
Chris congrats the 20th century limited train is AWESOME GOD BLESS YOU YOUR FAMILY HAPPY HOLIDAYS NOW RUN THOSE TRAINS ;-)
Happy Holidays Carl!
Beautiful engine! I like the number 2 whistle the best!
Extraordinary looking layout and train collection i like whistle number 2 👍🏻✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️
Whistle #2 suits the engine because I can imagine the engine having that whistle back in 1938.
Great Review! I love The Dreyfuss Hudson, And The Entire Set! This is something Everybody Has Been Waiting On. (Also Love The New Intro) I'm Team New York Central
Number 3 is my favorite whistle, but they’re all outstanding. I do think the set is too light a shade of grey. There are color photos of the 1938 Century and the prototype was closer to the MTH version. But still a gorgeous set. You have a fantastic layout to run it on, Chris!
The bell on the New York Central Hudson streamline sounds good. I chose number 2: deeper ghost whistle
A real beauty! This layout needs a Marx 333
That's an astonishing train set
Imagine if this beautiful locomotive was still around if it wasnt scrapped ❤❤❤😢 and whistle number 2 really goes great for her in my opinion
Hi Chris! This was a wonderful video of one of my favorite locomotives, the J3a Hudson by itself is a beautiful and iconic locomotive, but, the Dreyfus takes the cake for me.

Thanks for watching! Happy Holidays!
My favorite line. My favorite engine.
I love that engine. There the best. But number 2 is the best. Thats one of my favorite trains
I liked the second sound, greet
Whistle number 2 definitely !
Nice looking set! As a kid in the sixties i took the 20th Century Ltd.with my parents to Chicago for Christmas, we boarded at Croton Harmon NY. Great memories . Greetings from Port Saint Lucie, Florida! Yuletide greetings as well !
What a great memory!
Sneaky hiding 90’s throughout the video …..🤩
So much fun watching, thank you for making it happen! Whistle #2 for me!
I think the 2nd one was the best. This engine just looks so powerful and the deeper whistle really does it justice. Amazing video Chris!
Number 2 on the whistle, hands down, that deep tone gave me goosebumps. Thanks for the post Chris!
#2 is the best - it sounds like the Southern Pacific Daylight Holiday Express!
I remember 20th Century train being mentioned on a classic PBS T.V. show called Ghostwriter.
I love the dialogues
Side by side classics. Love it. 😊
I know we’re about to get a lot of videos from you and I’m so excited, I know this because you had facial hair in your community post.
Such a wonderful train, all 3 whistles are good but I am going to say the first one, #1 whistle, Keep up the good work Chris 😊😊
The most beautiful 😍 stream train is the SP Daylight, hands down.
I like the third whistle.
I like number 2 whistle as it sounds powerful and thus seems befitting of a powerful engine.
Great det and layout!! Whistle #2 for me!! Thanks for sharing!!
Chris, just an awesome presentation…and your collection is ti die for😮
Hearing the whistles if I had to choose I’m going to say number 2 is my favorite
There are no words for the envy I'm feeling. Luckily got a raise and ordered the 3rd Rail Passenger Set (finally!) All the whistles sound so cool!
Definitely number 2, and both sets reminds me of that old Super man cartoon beautiful sets Chris just beautiful 😊😊😊😊
#2. Keep up the great work!
I absolutely love it!
I really enjoy the wheel lights
Gorgeous engine, mine came this week. Lionel knocked it out of the park.
Dream on, dream on- in Britain several replica steam locomotives are either built or under construction - notably 60163 Tornado
Darrenbury Central Hi lovely layout. I think the second whistle is best. Just found your channel very good.❤
RBP, Terrific looking train set. Thanks for sharing.
Great train!!! I like #2 best.
I like the sound of #2, it just seems right. Oh and nice set.
Great action with gorgeous trains. I especially enjoyed the vibrant color you threw in with the Pacemaker Mohawk (?) and matching freight set. Really fun video, and BTW, I prefer whistle #2.
Number 3 is my favorite just a beautiful train wow
I just subscribed to your channel can't wait to checkout all your videos wonderful layout love it great job!
Thank you and welcome aboard!
THE TRAIN IS AMAZING AND THE NEW INTRO IS FIRE
Awesome first intro to the video and the end intro
I like whistle 2 the best, and that Timmy dialog is amazing! I think the grandpa at the end might be the best part haha
It cracks me up, lol!
That is an awesome set, I'm a big fan of the New York Central. The observation car from the 20th century limited still exists today.
Awesome set. I would love to just sit in your train room and watch your trains roll by.
What a beautiful trainset. I go for whistle #2 but really, #1 and #3 are also just totally fantastic !! And I'm in team NYC ... but that can change every second because the PRR T1 is also so amazing ... oh my. All those choices. This video makes me really want to build a huge double-track oval layout so I can set up a train race like that! 😃
The oval helps for these tests, haha!
ohhhhh. new intro music, I like it (that and the train)
Really nice railroad you have.
Got to ride the Broadway limited from Harrisburg, Pa to Chicago..twice! Once to Navy boot camp in 1966, and a round trip on business in the late 70’s. Private rooms both trips.
Now that is an experience!
All 3 whistles were good
Great video! I like whistle #2
My pick is #2. What a great set.
but over all i really love that train I WANT ONE SOOO BAD AAAAGH!!!😫🤣
Definitely #2. Fits very well for the time period the locomotive is modeled after
Whistle 1 and 3 where my favorites! Also as always another great video by Chris!
Also you do a very good job of filming it!
the new york central hudson is my favorite steam locomotive the 2nd whistle is perfect for such a best of a locomotive
After opening mine and setting it up today, I have to say I really like it! I don’t see any issues with the passengers marching the loco. It’s a keeper
Good morning Chris. Beautiful set hands down. Gonna have to go with #2; really makes a statement. Congratulations 👏🏼 👏🏼
Timmy's return is fantastic. Great video friend!
Team PRR here, especially because PRR are building a new T1..
Wow! your collection is amazing! Just subscribed

Whistle #2 sounds the best to me
Absolutely awesome looking set! So glad I ordered this as well!!
What a cool locomotive for the Christmas season
love to the hudson
