    i think 4014 and 90 both win in different ways. 4014's whistle displays the power and size of the engine, but that 90 whistle is just classic short line nostalgia

    • @AlexTheLNERK3
      @AlexTheLNERK3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I agree a lot to me. 4014 is like one that is there to get your attention and to get out of the way. But 90 is one like maybe you would hear on a branch line like "Hey, I blank far away, so just to let you know."

    Hey Chris I think I know why the Lionel brass hybrid strasburg 90 was delayed I believe when it was set to release it was still being worked on and they were still designing the model and making it and they were giving it a lot of detailed and they were working very hard to bring out a fine model and they sure succeeded.

    Chris, as we wrap up 2023, it seems that each successive video you do is little better than the previous. We're all having a good time on your channel. I don't think any engine could beat the Big Boy whistle but the Strasburg 90 has so many great features that it is almost in a class by itself. I've been to Strasburg several times and truly feel that Lionel train set is as good as being there (except that the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania sits right across the street from the real thing).

    They are both awesome locomotives. I have the 90 2000 model and the new Big Boy oil version. I love them both. Both whistles are great.

    One thing's for certain Chris, you're running your Strasburg 90 a LOT faster than the real one ever gets to run!
    Maybe one day Amtrak will let it romp on that Harrisburg line? 🤩
    Anyway, I have to give the Big Boy top honors in the whistle battle, it's hard to beat that deep-throated steamboat roar! But on the other hand the Big Boy doesn't have a "Ghost Whistle!" 90's whistle is just fine for an engine of that vintage.
    Oh, instead of moving the toilet in that observation car you COULD put up a privacy curtain! 😳 It'd be a LOT easier and suit the purpose! (Maybe throw a few magazines in there too? )

      I can see what you are saying. I was just showing my kids the horn feature on a Post War F3 diesel this evening under our tree and they thought it was the funniest thing ever, haha. Thanks for watching!

    Very nice locomotive Chris! I've gotta say, I have a soft spot when it comes to smaller steam locomotives. Locomotives like the Big Boy and the Challenger (both real and model form) are limited on where they can run because of their overall size and weight (the weight part is more on the prototype side than model form). Plus smaller locomotives really don't generate the levels of popularity that the large steamers do, so I'm kind of a sucker for the "underdogs" if you will. I know I sound like some hater of big steam locomotives, which not true, I just like the smaller locomotives because they were the ones that really weren't in the limelight, basically they did the dirty work you might say. Its nice see one of the smaller, mid-sized locomotives get done with such high detail, it sounds amazing too!

    Fun fact: Strasburg can run two observation cars on their trains. The Philly and Reading 10 behind the engine as it’s a first class car and the Hello Dolly 68 being an open air car with an observation deck on the actual rear of the train. The baggage also goes near the front with the diner up in the front followed by the coaches then open air.
