Anyone posted a video yet of Lionel's recently released 4-6-6 T engines?

I have two of the K-Line versions and a Lionel version in the mail. I hope the Lionel measures up...

MELGAR - I look forward to seeing a video of your new Lionel version once you start to break it in, and to hear the sounds of the whistle and bell. Thank you.
NOT MY VIDEO:

I hope you mean that the Lionel version is better than the K-Line version. I always wanted one, but then I had the "opportunity" to repair one a friend had. What a mess it was inside.
The video shows this new Legacy version to be a smooth runner. I would love to know what it looks like on the inside, what gear ratio they used, etc. I'm not a huge fan of the prototype, but if I build the layout I've been designing, I'll need more Legacy steam locos that can negotiate sharp curves, and not look terribly out-of-place doing it. Hoping to see some "guts!"
Wonderful video. I sure wish my Lionel UP 9000 with whistle smoke, worked as well as on this 4-6-6T engine! I wonder if Lionel's new Soo Line 10-wheeler #2645 with whistle steam would do as good as this 4-6-6T? Anyone know when the 2645 ten wheeler will be released??
RickO, thanks for providing this really cool informational video, it’s a very unique styled locomotive, one I’d like to get. It runs so smooth and it sure smokes. I would even be interested in the K-Line version. Happy Railroading Everyone

Looks like they are and with correct chuffs too.
