LETS GO FOR A LOOK INSIDE THE LIONEL LEGACY SANTA-FE 2-10-10-2

Upgrade or repair? Nicely done - excellent sounds

This is one of my favorite engines.  What was the condition of the tubing for the whistle steam and blow down?  My whistle steam stopped working last year.  I took the shell off to find that the end of the tube had disintegrated (for lack of better word) and slipped off.  I replaced the tube and zip tied it on the smoke unit.  It has worked fine ever since.

 

I agree the sounds are great.  I really like the whistle and that the smoke actually comes out of the whistle, NOT an exposed hole in the boiler.  I wish Lionel still did it that way.

Impressive Alex. Beautiful engine.

Kevin, it was a main smoke unit repair

 

T4TT, the condition of the tubing was actually very good, even though there was a ton of smoke fluid all over the inside's of the engine

 

Wood, thanks very much

 

Thanks,

Alex

WOW ALEX that engine sounds terrific.  Thanks for posting.  Keep up the good work!

       
       



That's cause the aux unit and blow down and whistle use a totally different smoke unit idea. It actually sucks the smoke out of its unit instead of blowing threw it .. It has a vent on the top of the unit and if to much fluid is put In it and the engine is turned upside down for a extended  period of time it comes out ..

Very nice.

I believe this is one of the best engines Lionel has ever produced. The looks are awesome. Thanks for the video that highlights this great engine.

 

 

Very nice, Alex!  

Very cool! I love that engine. I would love it even more if I had one!

I noticed that it only has 4 chuffs per rev.  Is that because it was a compound steamer?

I really enjoy mine as well. The chuff and whistle sounds are so realistic they will send a chill up your spine.

I was hoping Lionel would have released a wood caboose to go with engine, but no...

Thanks for the inside look Alex!  Even though it is a big engine, it is still jam packed!  Curious when it was issued and how many releases did Lionel do?  Is it Legacy?  Hoping they do another run soon!

Very nice,  thanks for the video............  really hits home on the quality of sound.  

 

Rich:

 

This was part of the first Vision Line Lionel offerings in the Signature Catalog of 2010. So it sure has Legacy and a lot more. I doubt if you will see this one any time soon.

Thanks Brian.  Since that is the case, I have to agree with you.  One just sold pretty quickly on the "Sell" board.  I snoozed, I loozed !

Alex, could you point out in one of those photos the swinging bell mechanism.

I'm interested in seeing what it looks like.

Thanks

Joe

Hi Joe,

 

The swinging bell mechanism is very hard to see in my photos, but here's a  picture of it  below.

 

I THANK YOU ALL FOR THE NICE COMMENTS AND INPUT
