I came across these two LionChief sets that are really nice and thought I would share.  Some of the little things like sounds or paint finish don’t come through or get announced in the catalogs.  This Disney world set 50th anniversary has the entire announcement recording from the actual Disney train.  Also has light changing tender, chasing gondola and firework light flashing car. It looks great and the sounds are nostalgic.  

second set is the Christmas lights express. I saw Sean do a review on it , check it out on his Sean’s depot channel.  The paint being the shiny metallic make it unique and eye catching. Plus the wreath on the front is a great touch and the cars flashing lights and music make it a complete set, good value.

Any other “must have LionChief sets”anyone has come across that had an awesome surprise or great values with the cars included?

IMO, one of the great ones was the Peanuts Halloween http://www.lionel.com/products...control-set-6-30214/

This is because the sounds of the engine are "normal" and you get whistle and bell for year round running. But, when you press the dialog button- then you get a great halloween track- and the whistle changes to a wolf howling and the bell changes to the spooky large slow bell. So it's basically got 2 modes- normal for everyday running steam usage, and then seasonal Halloween sounds.

I wish Lionel had made more Lionchief engines with this dynamic mode change- normal so you can use the engine year round with normal sounds, and then for the season (Christmas or Halloween are the 2 big common ones) special sounds.

Not my video but it shows the sound features https://youtu.be/HRVy3Iqg8BQ?s...Jo3jEyNnDpD&t=78
