In this video we will be unboxing a Lionel LionChief Plus 2.0 • CN • #3810 • ET44AC Diesel Loco. Item Number: 23-34050. We will run this locomotive on my layout using the universal remote and the Lionel Bluetooth App on an iPhone.
Gary from Michigan. Hope to see you out rail-fanning. 🚂

Nice video and recap, Gary. I went back and forth on deciding whether to buy this when it was announced. It looks good though! The shortened length doesn't look as bad as I thought it would. Looks like the grandkids approve too!

Hi Rob: The grandkids had fun making this video & running the trains. Thanks for watching. Gary
Very nice video, Gary! Nice engine! I'm seeing all CN engines now on the former Bessemer & Lake Erie here in Butler, Pennsylvania. I did not know they had voice commands too. Adam, Noah, and Abbie did great! One question: How did Adam and Noah get so big so fast? 
Gary, that is the best product unveiling I have seen in ages. Not only did I get a good review of the Lionel engine, the cast you enlisted from the actor's guild were fantastic! Lionel should use you guys for their advertising. The generational transfer of the joy of the railroads comes through loud and clear. Thank you for the effort you put into this and for sharing it with us.

Voice commands are a function of the Lionchief app- not the engine. In other words, ANY Lionchief engine that supports bluetooth- even ones that on the box may not have advertised voice control- because the app has the feature, if the app works with that engine- then voice control is possible.
Vernon, thank you. The only engine I have with Bluetooth is my LC Polar Express, and I have never tried the app. If we ever have any grandchildren, that will be a different story I’m sure!
