LionChief Plus Berkshire Videos - I'd love to see one in action!

Bought my Nickel Plate Berk From Nassau Hobby today. I will not receive until Friday. Could not resist the black Friday sale price.

Sweet!

Received it today.

I love it! Runs great, plenty of smoke. Whistle is cool!

Cheers!

Fitting that they used that whistle, is that whistle on all of them or just that one?

Re: the radio transmission. "This is the operator."????  What? It sounds like someone calling for information on the telephone!

Thanks for posting!  That thing really puts out the smoke!  I have all conventional engines at this point, but these lionchief plus offerings are really starting to pull at me.  

I think these Lionchief plus locos are a nice balance of features, detailing, and price.  They are great engines in their own right, but I can see how it may leave some wanting just a little bit more in detail/scale/etc - leading to legacy and vision line.  Lionel knows what they're doing.

Cool!They use the whistle from 765.A good smoker to thanks for posting.I wonder how it is when comes to pulling?Most likely it will pull a fair size train.

Are those 726/736 size drivers and running gear?

Is that a pool table ?

Oh, the horror !

Yes, it's on the pool table. I had a large layout that covered the whole table and half the room for years. we ended up missing the table. It was just too much space for too long..My nephews love playing pool so we need to keep it free. I can pull the track off it pretty quickly when they come to visit. The table is great for a quick train fix! Just to chill!

The Berkshire is running great, even smoking more now.

Cheers!

And yes I have had Legacy and all the scale stuff. Love this little Berk!

Runs great!

Cheers!
