Lionel Star Trek Ready to Run Set review.

Nice job rook!!

Good review ; it may encourage me to buy.

Thanks.  I was trying to keep it short.  I didn't want to have it drag on. 

Really enjoyed that.

In a somewhat related category, I'll have the Lionel Area 51 Set in hand soon. Shipped from Ro on Saturday.

I have no interest in the set but watched it all and was thoroughly 'engaged'. I think you did a great job!

I see what you did there. Lol.

Looks like the aquarium type car with the train in it needs the lightbulb adjusted. Maybe it's just the video, but it looked very bright on one side versus the other. I know the Scooby aquarium car they just threw the light bulb assembly in between the moving film strip. Not securing it.

No interest, but nice review. Looks like a nice set for Star Trek fans.

Very cool set, the graphics are great. Enjoy it.

Great job Marty.  Normally fantasy sets hold little interest but being a big Star Trek fan myself, I can see one of these sets being 'beamed' aboard.  Thanks for the review.

Ha, Love that set!  They did a nice job on it.  Great review and thanks for all the Lionel numbers in your video.

Here are some stills of the set and add on cars.

The Dual Motor FT Diesel.  Lots of Star Trek decoration on this unit.

Holodeck Car Looking at various angles the background changes behind the train.

10 Forward

Sickbay Car

Confiscated Romulan Ale

Tribbles Car

Captain Kirk / USS Enterprise 1701  Constitution Class.  No bloody A,B,C, or D. As stated in the video the information all seems correct according to various websites and Star Trek books!

Captain Jean Luc Picard / USS Enterprise NCC-1701D  Galaxy Class.

Nice job with the video and the stills. I’m a Trek fan and I think I must have put that set in my shopping cart three times. But I never completed the sale as Next Generation never really grabbed me. More of an original series fan. And it struck me that if I was having to talk myself into a purchase, I probably didn’t need to make it.

Watching your review I came to the conclusion that Lionel did a very nice job with it, but I don’t need to own it. So again, thank you for the excellent review!

I wonder if my interest would increase if there was a series of large flat cars with Enterprise sections as loads; that could be assembled? Not to any scale.

Or damaged sections; except the flaw to that thinking for either option is that the Enterprise like all other UFP ships was assembled in a Space Dock.

Nice job, Marty - was that shot with a cell phone or video camera ?

You still need to get them to the orbital construction platform so I imagine they could be transported to space port.  The problem I see with this is the size of the Enterprise.  The pieces could be smaller components like a captains chair or maybe a shuttle craft.  I would guess we could come up with some loads.

iPhone 10.  Edited with iMovie.

Great job Marty, the rolling stock in this set are the stars for me. I'm still waiting for my Star Wars set, but this is a great start in the Sci-Fi direction.

the graphics and photos-prints are nice and detailed.

I like more physical than graphical items.

So parts of a star ship would be better for me.

I would like to see a Dilithium Ore Car.  We'll see.

Nice job with the video and review!

Nice job on this very detailed review.
I decided to order the engine only and look into making my own consist ... future project using passenger cars.

Nice review, Marty! It just needs a Borg Car, to assimilate the rest of the train.

Engine has arrived today ... engage
