Whilst I still love how well made the 1225 is made, there's still a part of me that ants to see a version 100% loyal to how the movie engine looked, headlight embedded in the smokebox door and all.
I have made one with Lionel’s ho version of the polar express that’s true to the polar express no feed water heater Baldwin 3 chime recessed headlight and no numbers on the cab
Hands down, the best Polar Express model I've ever seen, I love the hobo car, such a nice touch. I love the Polar Express movie was a favorite as a kid, so it's great to see it come to life in an O scale model and hearing lines from the movie coming out it. Great video.
Christmas in July, a concept that Hallmark seems to love as my mom watches the same movie plot around the clock lol. I enjoyed this trip down memory lane of The Polar Express film and Lionel’s vision of the story come to life on layouts across the landscape. I only have the Lionel G scale version of The Polar Express for running under the Christmas tree and village, its actually what sparked my interest to get back into the hobby and I am working on a different layout for Christmas this year with my O scale trains. Over 5,000 subscribers, Chris! I have to say, it’s probably the smile and your jaw line….. but all kidding aside, I am proud to say that I was here before 500 subs and I believe it is your genuine love for the hobby, your story telling and the way you make your audience feel inclusive in your layout….plus the hair, can’t forget the hair lol. I don’t know if you can hear that? It’s a bell ringing…I guess it means that I still believe! Merry Christmas, Chris…in July…of course ❤️
Thank you my friend! I love all of the variations of the set. It is a great story with a great message. And thank you for the kind words! You have been here since the beginning and I truly appreciate all of the support…and humor! Have a great weekend!
Chris my father and I always enjoy your enthusiasm and excitement you have for this hobby. We have been adding many new locomotives and rolling stock to our collection this year and I'm currently working on a holiday 072 shelf layout in my mancave. Hoping to share it with all of you very soon!
I must say, your Polar Express train and layout is the best experience to the actual movie! I really enjoyed all of this magical moment as I also love Christmas and this movie! Thanks for sharing!
Your love of trains is very well presented. You spent allot of time on your detailed layout. So happy that people still appreciate Christmas Time. Seams everyone I know no longer see the season for what it is. My Mother believed and I still do. Thank for sharing your trains and spirit.
What a FABULOUS village! I'm blown away that you completed this massive undertaking in only 21 days! I would have taken 21 MONTHS and still be working on it! Just marvelous!!
That was great. Even at my “advanced” age I still hold onto Christmas Spirit. We have a large home and each floor has at least one tree and a couple have two or more. We even put one on the back patio to be seen from the side street. Seeing the setup today and that beautiful train set kinda made me start thinking about what we will do this year. Oh and the red shirt, excellent. I know I’ve given you grief over the shirts but I have to say you are wearing them well. LOL. Again Chris, excellent video. Always love seeing them. Take care my friend. Tim
Love the setup. The Christmas lights on the bridge really adds to it as well. Hoping that I can get my girlfriend and her 10 year old son onboard to do a Polar Express run this year. I'd REALLY like to do the one in Galveston but that may be a little too far for a day trip so may have to try Grapevine, Tx instead.
You cannot have a proper Christmas without seeing the film at least once. As someone who owns two Legacy Berkshires (the Southern 2716 and the rare 115th anniversary Berkshire), I think you’ve got the best one. Will for sure keep my eyes out for this one next
this movie has saved this whole train hobby thing. I got the O guage one for my family and have a fairly nice small display too but because of the movie
The movie brings me joy with plentiful of motivation and Christmas spirit this train brings everyone to the north pole to see Santa for many years to come.⛄🚂🎄🌟
Wow. I believe that the Scale Berkshire’s are some of the best Legacy locomotives Lionel has ever made. They are a perfect size and the sounds are incredible. My dad has the 2014 10th Anniversary locomotive and 6 of the scale passenger cars with black roofs, and I love running it every Christmas. Great review!
I have the 765 and the PE 1225 and they are 2 of the best engines in sound and performance. When stopping the creaking and moaning of the engine is just stellar.
Whoa, just found this video, most excellent. I have the 10th Anniversary with all of the scale cars too. I love running this on my Christmas layout I keep up ALL year. Without a doubt, my Lionel Polar Express is a crowd pleaser. Again, thank you for sharing this with us. Keep Christmas alive and well in your heart 24/7.
Lionel and I go a long way back. My first one was in 1957. C&0 locomotive, and the Yard train with Tin cars made in Germany. My brother and I spent many nights sleeping on the couch, because dad set a table up in our bedroom for the trains, about 6 months before moving it to the garage. But your set up, and collection makes mine pale to insignificance. 👍👍& 10⭐+ 💯😀 for the Lionel Lines.
My parents got me the original Lionel version when i was a kid for christmas. It was later stolen out of a storage area. Only thing that really bothered me about the storage being broken into.
Beautiful set and running session! Polar Express, Pere Marquette 1225 in particular is my favorite locomotive of all time! I remember wanting a Legacy Polar Express as kid, but the MTH 1225 in HO is as close as I'm gonna get haha! I would love to see Lionel release a completely movie accurate Polar Express. Sunken headlight, white lettering, etc. Anyways, another great video Chris! Excited for more to come!
1:22 🥰I love the book and film too!🥰 I have a polar express train as well, but it’s an RC/toy and I put it around the tree each year. Still love that lil thing all these years after I got it… I think it was 08 or 09 when first got surprised with it while watching the movie. Sweet memories❤
Great video. I always love the Polar express. My grandfather left me some LGB trains you’ll see on my channel that are a lot of fun with the kids around the holidays
Love this video Chris! The Polar Express is one of my favorites as well. I have the original 027 set that I run around the Christmas tree every year. I also own the scale Berkshire with passenger cars that I enjoy running at my Train Club’s layout during holiday open houses.
Love it! Im a huge Christmas time fan and love the movie. I'm currently building my first ogauge layout and want to incorporate a Christmas scene. my last layout was On30 without a winter scene.my children always wanted a Christmas scene. Thanks for the inspiration.
I really enjoy your content. My 3 year old is obsessed with watching your videos and you got him hooked on trains. I bought him his first train set this Christmas (Polar Express ready to run O gauge) and loves it. Thank you for your videos.
This is really cool brother how you turned the lights off and showed all the lighting of your polar express train and all of the lights in your buildings and your bridge with the blinking light on your bridge brother. I believe and I did hear the bell you rang. ❤❤❤❤
Righteous train set, and a superb offering from Lionel for this bad boy. Thank you for the wonderful video. Great to see Lionel has come into the 21st century with proper animatronics (smoke, sound and better graphics). The LED enhancement to the train is a welcome addition.
"She caught the Katy and left me with a mule to ride". Taj Majal. Your shirt made me think of that. I have had American Flyer trains for 11 dog years. We should do lunch.
Really nice set, and a great video Chris. My layout is all Christmas/ winter-themed, with Pol-Ex, Christmas Vacation, Elf movie, Frozen and more. The small "theater" room next to it is Always Christmas, with three trees, a full-size Santa and decor. My favorite time of year, and it's so relaxing when I'm in there.
That is cool! Since no room for layout, Christmas is my time. I got the Battery Operated Polar Express set under the tree. Our 2 year old Grandson loves it! Awesome train and post.
That's a beautiful set. I bought the entry level version for my nephews many years ago and they run it every Christmas. Not nearly as much detail, but it still captures the magic of the book and the film. Even the really cheap battery powered version captures some of the magic...it's just that cool of a train. Loved the decorated bridge by the way.
Man these new models are incredible! My old model has black roof and pegs you can place figures on top of but the interior is practically bare bones it's just silhouettes of people inside back lit and no led lighting on the front engine just an incandescent bulb and no voice dialog or sounds whatsoever besides a white tender that has a fan that blows air instead of actual sounds from the movie
Yup, the train was hella fun to ride, rails just appear for it and it's one you'll run to catch regardless of what your footwear is after I got home from riding it I ran through the snow and entered the front door, my parents were shocked because I didn't leave any footprints in the snow weirdly enough
Well done as usual Chris. Keeping the spirit of Christmas alive the whole year through. I admire your scale Polar Express set. I bought for my 3 sons the regular set back in 2005 when Lionel first produced it. I did purchase every add on car they offered every year thereafter, do now they have a huge set, along with the Polar Express diorama, the Hero Boys house, animals, etc. It really does make fir a nice set. Your scale set is beautiful though. Hopefully you’ll put together another video on it during the holidays again.
@@RBPTrains My friend Nick from Nix Trains said he’ll be seeing you tomorrow. Say Hello for me. Maybe we can all meet up some day soon. Have fun in Strasburg this weekend.
Really cool video I do not have that high scale of The Polar Express train like you do I have the more affordable version LOL but I am still extremely happy with the product that I have it Sparks my imagination and keeps me uplifted in the Christmas spirit if I am ever lucky enough to upgrade to the other higher-end model that would be really awesome to we'll see what happens this Christmas👍👍
I have the HO scale version and boy did Lionel cheap out on those. Even the cars are cheap. I might get an MTH Berk, if I can find one, and repaint it to the Pol Ex. I do just need one last car then I’ll have the 5 cars it is meant to pull.
I went to watch the movie just because of this video! lol I wanted to know the story. Also because I got a train almost like this for Christmas but it was too small for my village, so thank you for your video, I'm gonna get a train just like this one on your video!
Great video! I am also very lucky to own the Scale Polar express. I believe it’s the same run as yours. It’s an absolutely beautiful engine, definitely one of my favorites. Too bad they are so rare now, hope Lionel rereleases it during the next Berkshire run!
Awesome train set.....and video Christmas is my favorite time of the year I run my 027 set every Christmas in a display around the living room take care
I just want a scale Berk! Even if it was just a PE locomotive and no cars, scale berks are FIRE! (but so are the S3's). One day I'll get one... Also, 5K subscribers! Your channel is quickly growing... Congrats!
Great video! I have the original Lionel Scale model with the PM markings and the Polar Express version of the tender. It is crazy to hear all of the "movie" sounds in the Legacy version. In edition 1 the only movie sound was "This is the Polar Express. All Aboard."
I have all N gauge or N scale. When they bring out one in this scale, I’ll get one or even in Z scale. Doesn't have to be exact - just close because I’m not a perfectionist. I just don't have the space for a larger scale set.
the film came out the year i was born 2004. since then, i have been watching it. and i really want to get this model! thanks for the review! i also subbed to your channel awesome content!
My mother loves this movie.Which shocked me big time.So I said"I thought you did not like trains.?"She looked at me and said"I never said that I didn't like trains!!"The part in this movie that gets me.Is when the kids are getting ready to head back home.As he hugs the little girl.They start playing this song.And I remember my grandfather. You see he gave me my very first train.It was a battery operated tin toy .That would run on the floor.It would bloow its whistle.1225 is a pretty strong locomotive.I have a few in my o gauge collection.From lionel 736 to mth 765 and a few railking C&O berkshire one with proto 1 sound and one without.I also have a berkshire fkr the L&N nicknamed big emma.My mother has a friend named emma.And one erie berkshire.
What a great story! I always love hearing about how the hobby runs though generations as this was the same for me. And I love the movie as well. Thanks for watching and enjoy those trains of yours!
Whilst I still love how well made the 1225 is made, there's still a part of me that ants to see a version 100% loyal to how the movie engine looked, headlight embedded in the smokebox door and all.

the polar express, thats the next lionel train i want! maybe ebay has one for not too astronomical a price.

You see he gave me my very first train.It was a battery operated tin toy .That would run on the floor.It would bloow its whistle.1225 is a pretty strong locomotive.I have a few in my o gauge collection.From lionel 736 to mth 765 and a few railking C&O berkshire one with proto 1 sound and one without.I also have a berkshire fkr the L&N nicknamed big emma.My mother has a friend named emma.And one erie berkshire.
What a great story! I always love hearing about how the hobby runs though generations as this was the same for me. And I love the movie as well. Thanks for watching and enjoy those trains of yours!

The Pol Ex I have isn't as fancy as yours, but I'm still glad I have a Polar Express.
