I've wanted a diesel with this body style for some time now for my Holiday display, so I took a Santa Fe AA set and repainted one of the shells with a scheme inspired by the new Polar Express and some conceptual drawing from thread https://ogrforum.com/...orth-pole-central-f7 which is closed.
I hope you like it.

I want one! I always thought of doing one and have red headlights and the name Rudolph on the side. Nice work.
So nicely done; both the engine and video. If Lionel made something similar I’d buy it.
How or where did you get the 1225 # boards?
VERY NICE!!! I always wonder why LIONEL did not produce one, I know I would buy it!
Nice project!
Very nice ... I wish LIONEL would produce it... It is very hard these days to get something produced. I had a pitch for them with something and we went back and forth and in the end they only wanted to produce 2 cars instead of a complete set..
Funny, I posted this more than a year ago and now it's getting noticed.
Thanks for the positive feedback.
Do not know why they pass on some of these ideas or creations. They should do a mock and take pre-orders ,, not enough orders cancel it .. That seems to be happening these days as it happened the last 2 catalogs they canceled items due to not enough pre-orders. Why not take the shot on it.
The project that I was working on included a celebrity and we were right there at getting it done , came back to only being able to offer two types of cars and it never went any further.
I have been into trains since I was 4 years of age... I never was a computer guy or social media guy , so I never was involved in a forum ... I just recently joined the forum and I am glad I did ... the reason I joined was I am in the process of moving to a bigger house and I am looking to create a tremendous layout so as I was asking questions to people they said you should really join the forum.. so here I am ....
I was looking and googling Christmas sets and engines as I was on the hunt for the North Pole Central # 1 red locomotive and your Diesel Picture popped up and then after I joined the forum I came across your post and clicked on it due to the fact I was very interested.
Here is a clip of what I was working on .. Was pushing for a complete train set ...
