In the Year 2000. A look at a couple of Lionel's Centennial Engines

Thanks again MARTYE!!!!  Those are great running engines….that is a good puffer along with some perfect smoke rings….liking the brake screeching too…well done!!👍👍

Much like WSW, I like looking back at items from the past.  There are some really great engines and product that we just don't see much of because of all the new stuff.  Like you, I certainly like seeing some great older engines.  It's been a while since I did an actual train running video and these 2 were perfect for getting back on the layout.

As always, thanks for watching!

I'll have to take a look Marty. At work getting ready to clock in, got relatives coming in from North Carolina tonight staying a week, so I will get this in around bedtime unless family keeps me up very late which is always a possibility. I will get it in though, just a question of when.

Well, went to bed really late Marty, but I watched the video just now(6:35am). Nice rundown on the locomotives. I remember the SD90MAC from the catalog, but it took a bit for me to remember the Pacific(bell rang when you showed the catalog page with it). The colors really stand out on the pair of them, the Pacific with the L logo done much like the Santa Fe I believe on one of the rolling stock and maybe one tender on an engine. The SD90 colors really pop with the blue and orange, and it smokes dang good too it looks like. You're right about the puffer smoke unit in the Pacific, it works pretty well for that engine, just giving the right amount of smoke coming out.

A really great video Marty, thanks for putting that together. I wonder what engines you plan on popping up next time?

Nice video and recap, Marty. I was actually running my CP SD90MAC from that catalog the other day. I still remember being in awe of just how big it was! It still looks and runs great 23 years later.

These engines run great for their age.  I really enjoy them.  Thanks everyone for watching.
