This is a video from my you tube channel GAN Railroad from the Aberdeen Carolina & Western Train Ride at the LCCA 2023 convention. The Video shows the warehouse which also doubles as the train station, with cars being refurbished, and some cars already done. Also the train returning, and entering the station from the morning excursion & the afternoon ride I was on. I have been putting other videos of the LCCA convention on my you tube channel, and one will be on Friday where I discuss the convention as well as answers to questions I asked Lionel, such as what percent of new trains are returned for repairs within the first year. Also I discuss an idea for a new feature for diesel engines, I asked Dave Olsen if they could add this feature to new engines, Dave liked the idea and said he will look to see if it's possible.

Thanks for posting, that is one beautiful paint scheme. ACW and Lionel hit it out of the park.
Hey GAN - Thanks for posting
I was on the early morning trip - it was awesome
I have some video - I wasn’t sure if I was allowed to post pics video etc - I guess it’s OK ??? - We were standing on the open flat car with the Lionel gang - got a chance to talk with Howard / Ryan and a bunch of great people - the weather was perfect 😎
Also met and hung out with a few “real trains” YouTubers - very educational and fun - the shop guys were great also - found out were the cool engine colors came from 😊🚂
I’ll post some video in a little bit
Thanks again

I took some trackside video at Pinehurst, but haven't had a chance to pull it off the SD card and compile it yet. Maybe this weekend.
I went ahead and grouped some of my footage together, it was a fun time! I've thankfully had a few opportunities to catch the E/F Units trackside on their debut runs, being able to take a ride for once was a treat.
