Man, if only the Daylight version had some "blunt" dialogue from Hotwater, it would have been a home run
Nice demo videos as always Eric! I do think the cylinder cock steam and sound effects is one of Lionels better efforts.
Like your new truck, too! I watched this primarily for the Daylight version, and am impressed. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Fantastic presentation as always Eric. Thanks for sharing the unboxing experience with us.

Eric,
Nice video as usual
Maybe in the future do a video of the Daylight with the Neil Young song Southern Pacific in the background
from the side, the daylight's headlight just looks like it's blinking. I'm sure that it looks better straight on.
Like the smoke effects!

Light was not blinking, just a result of video capture. Nothing to worry about.

Now I know what Legacy Station's back room looks like.
FedEx dropped off an engine from Legacy Station for me this past Tuesday. Not as zoomy as your locos and cars, but it was my parting shot "souvenir" purchase from MTH's Last Catalogue - and I don't even run DCS, really. Gulf, Mobile & Ohio silver/crimson Alco RS-1. Gorgeous little thing.
Always loved the GS-1, long before the modern 3RO era; wrestled with ordering one - the Pilot version - but I "won" the argument and did not. Now, of course, especially after your video, I am not sure that I "won".

I meant to say it's probably the gyro effect?
Smoke effects are very cool. I wonder how the color match would be for the 18" aluminum Daylight cars from 2005, though. I wouldn't be interested in one of these new GS engines if it weren't a precise match. Probably not worth $1,800+ to find out. Those cars do perfectly match the no. 11129 from 2008 (the first scale Legacy Daylight GS-4).
I noticed a small defect on the 4449 engine in the video. The left top handrail on the tender is too short, and doesn't make it to the last rear stanchion, so is left hanging. Not sure how difficult that would be to replace, or if the part will be available.

It’s the Mars Light effect. Over on the Products forum Dave Olson explains that it works as you would expect. The flickering you see in the video is a result of the frame rate not being in synch with the light effect.

It's not short. Look again, it's just pushed forward to far. Plenty of railing on the other end.
I noticed a little speck of dust on the cab roof. Send it back!!!
What you think is a problem may depend on your experience. Had a Milwaukee S3 a few years ago. $1500 engine. Had two broken stanchions, and the handrails were loose. Turned out to be a problem, because Lionel didn't have any of those size stanchions for replacement. It was a lot more of an issue than a speck of dust!

The wire in the video has just slid forward in the stanchion. Sliding it back will remedy the problem. I can't speak to your issue but the one in the video is easily fixed by sliding back into place.
Rod - perfect 👍🏼😂
My vision line gs freight set is having issues with the tender not making sound or rear coupler not working and rear light not working will have to call lionel in the morning. Already talked to Ryan and Dave from lionel.
They look nice but I feel like I still haven’t seen the cylinder steam effect close enough to really see how well the steam, sounds, and wheel position all line up... I’d really like to see this more clearly before pulling the trigger on an engine/ set...

That's a very good result.
Any review or comments on the GS4 stock set?
