Lionel SP AC-9 Review

Thanks, Eric.  Always enjoyable.

Eric

Watched earlier.  Very nice.  Per Dave Olson all Legacy engines will have the serial number sticker now.  It started about 4 or 5 months ago.  I had the same question.

See this thread.

Eric,

All your videos are WELL DONE...Thanks!  I have spent hours and hours watching your work on You Tube. Great stuff and always entertaining.  

Nice engine and good review.  That thing is a monster!

Great video as always Eric!

WHY DID LIONEL PUT  An A.T.S.F.  WHISTLE ON THIS LOCO ? 

Maybe that was as close as they could come to the whistle sound of the SP freight whistle? Generally a Nathan 6 chime is a Nathan 6 chime, no matter where the steam is supplied from.

Understood Hotwater, post deleted.

Thanks for the info. 

Well done Eric as always.

Appreciate the time you take to produce these videos.

Thank You

Dave

Eric,

    Great review as always. Could not agree with you more on the favorite feature....the steam whistle.

Thx Eric - always enjoy your reviews 

WOW!  Thanks so much wish I could afford one, so I'll watch the video lots & lots.

Would like to have Lionel use some different voice recordings for their crew talk.  I know those guys didn't work every railroad, just sayin.

Excellent as always.  Thank you!

Great loco; have had mine since October; good price from MM; did drown the fans of the smoke unit but Lionel support replaced them (thanks Tony); have derailed many times debugging Fastrack Command switches but it keeps on ticking; no worries; finally figured out that the switch causing the derailing was not level (saw a suggestion on that on this forum).

Eric, I sent you an e-mail two weeks ago. Was wondering if you got it? I sent it at the e-mail listed on the club web page. Thanks.

Rick

Well done Eric.

Eric, excellent video--as always.

At one point, you mention that to sound the air horn instead of the whistle, you need to--did you say?--press AUX1 first.

I have Lionel's first Legacy GS-4, which also has both a whistle and an air horn. However, I don't need to do anything to toggle between the whistle and the air horn. When I address the engine, a dedicated button for the air horn appears on the CAB-2 touchscreen.

I would expect the AC-9 to have the same thing...or doesn't it?

Cheers!

No special button I could find on the horn; AUX1 toggles between horn and whistle.

Great review Eric. I had been asking myself, "When will Eric's next video come out and what will it be?"

Thanks Eric!  Have my AC9 running with string of SP and MKT freight cars.  Looks great and runs well.
