This is my first video for 2023. I hope you enjoy it.
The video highlights my Lionel "Warhorse" freight car set from 1998.
What made these sets quite unique was the addition of a weathered paint scheme on the locomotive and cars direct from the factory. The “weathered” look symbolized years of hard service on the rails.
The train is pulled by a Lionel “704” 4-6-4, #3447. The Santa Fe called them "Super Hudsons". It features the “old school” Pullmor motor tucked inside the cab. Slow speed operation is pretty much nonexistent, it wants to “highball” all the time. #3447 sat on the shelf for the better part of 10 years, I took it down, lubed it up and away it rolled. I like the fact it has the first generation of TMCC for control along with a wireless tether between the engine and tender.
The freight cars are all matching in the famous Santa Fe “Map Series”. The set came with (4) cars and I added (2) more. Bringing up the markers is a lighted caboose.
