With BTO, if it didn't sell well enough it wouldn't have been made.  We can sit here and say how ugly it is but in the end they must of had enough interest to have them produced.  Not my cup of tea either but more power to them if they can sell them.

I asked...  it was one of the most popular challengers.

 

It looks WAY BETTER than i thought it would!  

The '49er scheme on the ES44 was also very popular i heard...

Legacy Station also just posted a video of the '49er fantasy scheme. I still don't like it, but I'll admit it looks much better than it did in the catalog.

If someone has a video of the 3985 version, may we see it please?

Looks *****en...  i had to shut it off early so i wouldnt have to buy one!

Sorry Bob but the 49er challenger is hideous and Lionel could not even get the 49er brown correct!

All the videos I have seen don't have the articulated sounds.  Did they really leave out the articulation in the sound set?  How did that get out the door?

I was thinking the same thing. 

Wow. I just noticed the same thing. Compared to the previous release and the Big Boy its very noticeable. Hopefully Lionel chimes in.

The videos I've seen (including the one posted above in this thread) show the siderods of the front and rear driver sets in perfect sync.  In this case, the chuffs would also be in perfect sync so a non-articulated sound set would be correct.  Maybe Lionel held them in N.C. so they could adjust the drivers to match the sound set.  Or maybe not. 

I know for sure there are no new Lionel locomotives in my future.
