Video Notes: 1) This video has chapters for those who wish to skip around. 2) Please excuse any audio inconsistencies. I'm testing out a few new mics. 3) The minimum curve required for this locomotive is O31.

I own one of these locomotives, from a Menards Alaskan Railroad set, though mine just has an electronic whistle, not a real steam whistle. Loved the set cause it came with a manual crane , searchlight car and a maintenance caboose, and I always wanted a crane.

Thank you for showing this Engine. I have bought conventional Lionel one with the same shell and a smoke unit back over 10 years age for 100 dollars. This was not a Lion Chief. But it did pull over twenty cars. But you are right in nit doing this, because I burned out the motor on mine. Mine was Union Pacific numger 87. Thanks for showing the fun you can have with this engine.

I have a vintage 1983 Alaska Railroad Lionel 2-4-2 8368 switcher and 1982/83 Alaska Bay Window Caboose 6441 in my small collection of trains. Got them for $100 in total at a train show last year. I couldn't pass up the deal. I mostly collect trains from Atlas, and specifically trains run by New Jersey Transit because I live in NJ but I have an affinity for the vintage Lionel 2-4-2 switchers.

Great video, Eric. I've been tempted by one of these for a while, especially that Lehigh Valley, that is a version of the real thing I've had the chance to run (drive) and fire back when I was a volunteer on the Walkersville Southern Railroad. The real deal is owned by a father and son team in Indiana that have a few of them they've restored and rent out to various east coast museums. They travel around via semi-trucks...their company is Gramling Locomotive Works. We trucked in the Lehigh Valley or one of their other engines each spring to run on the tourist trains.
