I’ve seen that the Lionel LIRR C-420’s and some of the FA cab units are now available. Does anyone have videos of them running?

The magical brown truck just left me some presents. I really won’t have time to run them until Sunday but here’s some photos of the cab units. The blue & grey looks great! I’m glad Lionel delivered the blue & white with the correct black trucks. My C420’s are still boxed up. I’ll get them out Sunday.

Sorry no video as yet but I do have the C420, looks good, sound good runs good.. Happy to have one in my fleet. I purchased the standard one shown above. Check out NAssau Hobby Center as Chris had a few custom runs of this engine and those paint schemes are outstanding.

I see in Lionel’s catalog that the C-420 runs on a minimum 054 curve. Has anyone tried to run it on a tighter curve?

I think that’s a mistake. They don’t have fixed pilots. They should take 036. I run 072 but I can see that they go way tighter then that.
