Great find and a great looking engine and tender.  Its scarcity and uniqueness should make it a super investment too.

As one who grew up with "Lionel Lines" on my trains I just love it! Enjoy!!

Coming from someone who doesn't buy fantasy schemes, that is gorgeous!  Really sharp looking.

Sorry, NEVER buy a toy as an investment unless you're planning to flip it ASAP.

I learned a long time ago, some 40 years off collecting that trains are were not investments.

Nice.  Very, very nice.

Nice engines. I got my love of trains from my mother. She had certain standards, like a train should look like a real train (she detested the the whole concept of the pink and pastel Girl’s Set!!!). I guess I’ve carried on with similar tastes, but I made an exception for the Lionel 120th Anniversary caboose which has a paint scheme similar to your two engines, and it is very eye catching.

Both engine and caboose are beautiful!

The caboose #2026910 that was produced is a great match for both engines. I finally found one and added it to my collection, glad the picture of this caboose was posted.  I really like different things so I do like some of the what if items Lionel has produced. I hope when someone does purchase the next loco of the year #2231330 they post some pictures. The lionel online site picture does not do Justice to the colors of these fantasy paint schemes. These engines do not appear in the catalog, so you only can rely on the Lionel site exclusive rendering. My dad started me out with my love of Lionel trains and that will never change. Collect what you like or love, and enjoy your trains.

Congrats @V. Tiberie ! When you mentioned how you got your wallet out as soon as you saw the loco, I chuckled to myself Know that feeling- as I'm sure many others here do as well! Not really into fantasy schemes but that's a really sharp looking steamer. Congrats again!

Thanks for the like, and the nice comments. Thanks to everyone who had nice things to say.

Hope everyone has a safe, and happy holiday season. Trains under the tree .

Same team, Same fight.

I always liked the "Lionel" themed products when done tastefully.  I believe this engine was one of these.  I liked the look but my roster is too full.  Nice find.  Get the caboose.

That looks nice. Any video if it running?
