Lionel Brass Hybrid Mikado #3222 photos

Dave

Any chance this would run on 0-42? Thanks! @Dave_Olson 

Lionel states in their catalog that the minimum curve requirement is O-54.

That's why I'm asking. Often the catalog says the minimum is X when the engine or car can do tighter......

I seen Eric's video, but is that the whistle being used or different in this engine?

Thanks Dave, Merry Christmas to you and everyone at Lionel. I am looking forward to getting my 3222.

Nice touch with the white class lights instead of the usual green. 

I’m not a Santa Fe fan, but this engine looks beautiful.

So excited!  Nice Photos!

Wow. That is looking great!

Looks great, Dave! I'm sure there will be a lot of happy owners and I can't wait to see what other hybrid renditions you may produce in the future.  Just curious, is each unit inspected and/or tested prior to packing/shipping, or is that level of QC too labor intensive for the expected margin?

Just in time for Christmas!

Dave 

I dont want this left on the porch without knowing when its there.

Can you or will Lionel email shipping info so I can arrange to be there when it arrives?

I have a Xmas vacation planned out of town.

Beautiful.  It's going to look great on my layout!    

Beautiful locomotive,I can only hope Lionel would do one like this in NYC H-10 Mikado or a C&O K2 or K3 Mikado 

I think it should be pointed out that on the "Ryan and Dave Show", Dave said everyone of these locomotives will be opened and tested before being shipped to their owners.  I expect these will be a big hit.  I certainly am impressed with the final product.

Hi everyone,

The Brass Mikados are now in. I wanted to share some pictures of the painted/lettered version. The high level of detail mixed with the great paint job really makes this loco stand out. These will be shipping out from Lionel between the end of this week and the next week.

Happy Holidays!

 

This is a very nice looking locomotive.

I've got one question: Is that a red LED where the tender's back-up light should be, or is it just a trick of the digital camera and light?

Rusty

Please, Please do some NYC or some New England road for your next hybrid.......

It’s such a detailed looking model, wonder if the 3222 number boards by the bell light up? I can see that this Brass/Hybrid technology potentially could open up a new market for us fellow Modelers  wanting more realistic looking engines for our layouts.  The detailing is definitely top box.....This, with the addition of great sounds, Legacy/Bluetooth operable is a step forward.  Thank you Lionel

That's the final whistle.

You'll have to contact support to ask. I don't handle the shipping portion. talktous@lionel.com

The backup light is red per the prototype.

The number boards do not light up per the prototype.

How about these for future Brass Hybrids using the K4 chassis?

That seems a bit unusual. How would the engine crew see ahead (when backing up) with a red "back-up light"? I've need heard of that. Maybe a Santa Fe expert will chime in on this, i.e. "Number 90".

Again, hard to believe that the Santa Fe would go to all the trouble to mount number boxes, and then not have them illuminated for night visibility from stations and interlocking towers. Maybe "Number 90" can help with this also.

As added information, those same style number boxes on Santa Fe 4-8-4 #3751 are indeed lighted.

Well, to clarify, the 3160 class didn't really have a backup light. It had a red marker. We originally had an ATSF style backup light in the design, but removed it when all the prototype photos showed it didn't have it.

OK, that sounds more logical, i.e. that the rear (red) light on the tender would be showing red to the rear, when the locomotive is operating light in the forward direction, such as in helper/pusher service.

Thanks for the clarification on the red marker.

Rusty

Dave, looks awesome with the insane detailing just around the cab. Almost makes me sorry I didn't order one, but not my cup of tea. Still, great engine besides my own preference.

Cant wait to get mine!

Dave ,

Beautiful work on this engine, looks great

Thanks, Alex

 Looks absolutely fantastic. My wallet just hopes you guys don't do a proper Southern 630 or 4501 because if they were offered as brass hybrids I'd have no choice but to buy.
