Welcome to the forum. Enjoy 

Welcome! That S1 looks like it’s moving fast even when it’s sitting still, handsome locomotive. 

Thanks! The S1 has to be one of my favorite steam locomotives Lionel has made. Took awhile to find this one, they are fairly hard to come by in like-new condition

Welcome aboard!!!

...Got into the hobby about 9 years ago with my first Lionel ready-to-run set (6-30089 Pennsylvania Flyer) ...

I love that set. I ran my Wegmans version with all of the add-on cars on a Super O loop on the elevated village section under the tree this year, it ran for hours on end and was whisper quiet & smooth the whole time.

Welcome!

Hey Wayne,

Welcome, this is the place for any info on O gauge model railroads; the fellas here will help you with any issues you have; they assisted me in my fixes to a Lionel Big Boy all the way to completion.

Welcome Aboard.

Welcome Wayne-  we LIKE having new younger Members!!  No question is unwelcome or "stupid"- have a good time and enjoy us old geezers.

Welcome! Great looking PW Geep.

A few years ago Lionel did a conventional set featuring that B&M GP called the Paul Revere Set. Was led by the GP9 with some colorful rolling stock.

Welcome, Wayne! I really like that B&M Geep; one of the better paint schemes.

Welcome Wayne.

That is one of the cleanest PW BM Geeps I've ever seen!

Welcome Wayne! You will find so much knowledge here it is amazing! Everyone here is so willing to help out. Your really going to enjoy this group of people! Have fun and don't take to seriously !

Thank you all for the kind words and warm welcome! 

Welcome, Wayne....that PostWar B&M Geep is a beauty!

OK, Wayne...Hudson Valley? New York? So, where are your NYC Hudsons? Huh? Huh?

You'll need a bunch of those.

Thanks Putnam Division!  It came with the original box and owners manual which was nice and apparently had very little run time in the 50 or so years its been around. Probably was shelf displayed for many of those years since it hardly shows its age.     

Adding a Hudson to my layout is definitely in the pipeline D500 (as is a PRR Q2 if Lionel ever decides to make one). As a fan of the streamlined variants I'm hoping Lionel releases a Legacy Dreyfuss like the one they were planning back in 2008 (6-11148) but never put into production. As much as I like the Empire State Express one that they have now I've always been partial to the 20th Century Limited look.
