That ALP-46 is AMAZING! And those Bombardier bi level coaches! Gotta have it! I ride these trains frequently as well. Didn't realize MTH made these. Congratulations on an amazing acquisition.
We felt the same, Ray. Our run session went on and on...we didn't want to stop. Thanks so much. And we really look forward to your own videos. Well done. Keep them coming. Gary
Great job guys. Ryan, from now on you will be known as the king of New Jersey Transit and of all things New Jersey. Now we have 2 kings--king Ryan of New Jersey, and Corey the subway king. ALL HAIL!!!
Some great scores at that show gents! Sure, you had to pay full list on the NJ Transit coaches but that's not too surprising, as you correctly pointed out you just don't see them anywhere. Pure supply and demand in action with New Jersey-themed articles, they come out and typically get snapped up quickly. Hey, I overpaid (in my opinion anyway) on a Lionel Jersey Central Camelback several years ago but you just don't see them anywhere either. Six cars on a Jersey Transit train is a nice all-around consist. From what I've seen on videos of NJT trains the consists can run from four to eight cars so having six is pretty good and makes an impressive train. Looks like it was NJ Transit day on your layout! And I spotted that NJT PCC car, it really stuck out! I've got one myself, I bought at a train show here in Virginia, got a VERY good deal on it and a good laugh as well. The seller looked at me a little funny and asked "You're not from around here, are you?" "Not originally!" I replied! I'm not aware of Lionel producing any Jersey Transit products besides the starter sets, although I could be wrong. I've got one of the starter sets myself plus add-on cars. Not a high-quality as the MTH products but they look good on my small layout and they're fun to run.. Oh, don't worry about mis-pronouncing Bombardier as "Bomb-bar-deer" and not "Bomb-bar-dee-ay," people have been mispronouncing it ever since the first Bombardier snowmobiles began showing up here in the 1970s. If I remember right they even pronounced it wrong in the snowmobile commercials! Gary may have to correct me on that. A fun video as always! Thanks for posting!
Good catch for that strategically placed pcc trolley. Hopefully, we can spend more and more time on our trainboard to do list stuff, like wiring, landscape, accessories. Like you, ryan gets excited about nj transit and cnj stuff. Gary
Awesome video guys, I just realized it was you who came up to me during a few NJ greenburgs ago as I was packing up a New Haven I5. Love the local NJ action!
Thanks so much. We worked especially long and hard on this one. The engine and cars were hard to find. Extra time was well spent on the edit, since this is a favorite set of ours. Gary
You two are fun to watch in your videos. Especially the interaction between you at times. One question though, why would you like an electric engine to smoke:) Keep up the videos and hope you see you at York next month.
They MAY have been thinking of the Pennsylvania Railroad's GG1 electric which had an on-board oil-fired steam generator for passenger car heating. On some old films of GG1's you can see the steam popping off as it hits maximum pressure. It was years before passenger cars were electrically heated which did away with the need for steam generators.
Beautiful set. The detail is amazing and it looks great on the layout. Also did you get anything at the fall2024 York show? I look forward to your new trains you get at the shows

Thanks, Karl! That's what I'm saying!! It's all the more meaningful when you ride them frequently. - Ryan
Idk what’s sweeter the engine or the passenger cars. Great video guys smile on my face the whole time 😂

Well howard, sounds good to me..all hail to the boys, ryan and corey.
@@TheTrainboard KingCorey & KingRyan rule=ALL HAIL
What a deal !! I spent a year and a half looking for a AEM7.. MTH did a great job with these too !!
@scottfrezza3573 yes, for us, the price was a nice surprise, but these were long sought, hard to find, and so very, very nice. Gary

Thank you! Yeah, the Edison Greenberg is our local show, so you can always catch us there. I'll check out your video on the I5! - Ryan
Amazing show guys! The bi-level NJT are definitely hard to come by too
Thanks so much. We worked especially long and hard on this one. The engine and cars were hard to find. Extra time was well spent on the edit, since this is a favorite set of ours. Gary
What a treasure hunt at train show always cool to find a train that’s local to your area
Yes, our local line, the notheast corridor, doesn't have a great vatiety of trains so we are fortunate to find a favorite
Thanks for commenting. Gary
I love your long videos! Love your passion and fun. Can’t wait to meet you at York!
Thank you, we appreciate that. We'll be there!
Congrats! Great set!!
Yes, we love that engine and it's bombardier cars with those really nicely done colors. Gary
Awesome video! I have one as well, and also got it at Greenberg! I got mine back in 2018 and it’s number 4654.
Thanks!! Got to love Greenberg! I actually caught NJT 4654 at Metropark one day! Here's the short: th-cam.com/users/shortsW2Y_QFivROM?feature=share

True, electic diesel have some exhaust but not really much smoke. But, we love smoke on our trainboard, the more the better. Gary
@@wayneantoniazzi2706 wayne, your historical perspectives add much to these posts. Thanks so very much.
@@TheTrainboard Thank you for the kind sentiments!
Grreat set grreat video😊
Thanks Paul! 😊
Beautiful set. The detail is amazing and it looks great on the layout. Also did you get anything at the fall2024 York show? I look forward to your new trains you get at the shows
Thank you! And we did!! We should be filming our York Haul video this coming week, so stay tuned!
Train shows are where its at
Absolutely! Train shows are a fun day out and in this day and age more fun than going to the movies and a LOT cheaper too!
Yeup
I have all 11 Lionel NJ Transit passenger cars I also have the Bombardier cars you feature in this video.
You are so fortunate to find your set. They are special. Gary
Lionel made NJT passenger cars? What's the model #?
It's levi-OOH-sa, *not* levi-oh-SAAA 🙃
yes... thanks for your continued support
@TheTrainboard always, y'all. Any layout updates in the works?
