I'm pretty pleased with the Lionchief line and how Lionel has improved them over the last nearly 10 years. Great starter kits for anyone getting into the hobby. Extremely reasonable priced as well. Whether it's the Sante Fe Super Chief, Polar Express, or whatever gets them into the hobby, the Lionchief is a fantastic entry point.

I bought this set 2 years ago and the 2 add on cars. It’s one of my favorites. I have 3 loops on my layout and it’s almost always on one of the 3. FYI it will work on tubular 0 27 track corners no problems no marks. Nice gift for your son. Thanks for sharing.

Dude I say from my heart THANK YOU for posting this. I am going to add an O scale train to my Carrera slot car table and I had my eye on this particular train. You have convinced me to buy it. Thanks again.

Can't go wrong with Santa Fe! Awesome set Chris. The conductor and announcer sounds were pulled directly from the Santa Fe Post War Celebration Stationsounds Diner which are really top notch in my book.

Wow Chris .. I remember my dad and mom got me a train set ..Am Flyer for Christmas (Santa) and I was too young to know so they packed it away and I got it a year later even forgetting Santa brought it last year. I loved it and played with it for many hours. Its what started me. I think he really bought it for himself . His dad was a RR worker on making up freight trains in the yards. Went to working a suit jacket. I would have loved to have that set back then. I think you are starting new modelers...great

Wow so awesome to hear of his excitement and growing into the Hobbie. Great review, love all your videos. Keep up the good work. If I may say, I know change, keeps things fresh, however I miss your opening video where the music is perfectly tuned with the NF/S tender from Strasburg blasting onto the scene. Lol That being said, keep up the great videos. They teach and inspire. Stay safe.

Hi Chris, I'm just seeing your video, very nice. My set just like this one is coming in today. I'd like to ask how you all's unit has held up so far and also, how many cars have you put behind the f unit? How many do you think it will safely handle? Thanks for the nice video and Happy New Year

Ah, poisoning the minds of youth are you Chris? Remember, the ancient Greeks executed Socrates for that! Just kidding! That's a beautiful set and I'm sure your young one's going to have a ball and start building some great memories with it! Hard to beat that "Pure Hollywood" Super Chief!
