THE NEW LIONEL LEGACY SOUTHERN PACIFIC GS2 DAYLIGHT PHOTOS AND VIDEO

Alex real nice sounds and smoke. I had to turn my speaker down on my computer the whistle so loud lol. 

WONDERFUL ALEX!!!  I am saving the video files that you post and am burning them to DVDs for future viewing on my theater screen!!  (nice to work with web developers that know how to do this!)

Awesome engine Alex. Sounds are really nice. People who will not buy a engine because of no whistle steam are missing out on some great engines. 

Great sounds Alex. Thanks for posting. Your scenery is awesome. Beautiful workmanship.

Love it! Great sound, and looks..... Just the thing to further convert a Mth guy!

Alex, All I can say is WOW! That is an awesome engine. I'm very jealous I've always wanted a Daylight and unfortunately I let this one slip by. That's ok I'll have fun running yours when we get together. Lol! That passenger set looks terrific behind the engine. It looks great on your layout. Enjoy and good luck! I'm looking forward to running it. Lol! Mike R

That really is a beautiful locomotive Alex. The looks and sounds are both wonderful. 

Nice pictures and videos.  Thanks.  That is a very impressive locomotive - and train.  The daylight GS-2 looks spectacular with the Shasta Daylight car you have for it to pull.  I've always loved the Daylight scheme - colorful and dramatic.  Good layout, too.

 

Still, when it came time to order mine I went with the black GS-2.  It's a great loco.  I don't miss the whistle steam and I love the sliding windows.  Initially I was disappointed in the sound, but it improved (separate post coming).

Beautiful. How long are those cars?

Alex,

You're not kidding about the sound. Even through Youtube, the sound is quite full and rich.

Funny, after years of tolerating Lionel's weak smoke offerings, I still find myself being most excited about the smoke units on these Legacy locos.  The cars do look great as well.

Great photos and videos and thanks for posting these.

Good afternoon everyone,

Jeff, Alan, Dave, Captain John, Jim M Sr, Mike R, Nicole, Lee, Michael, and Graz

 

I thank you all for the wonderful comments

 

Michael, the cars are 18 inches long but with the couplers they are 19 long

 

Thanks again, Alex

Beautiful photos and video.  I passed on this loco because I have the recent #4410 GS-2. Other than the road numbers are these the same locomotives? 

 

ps By "recent" I mean the 2004 locomotive!  Time sure flies when you are having fun.  Mine doesn't have legacy and I didn't think I needed it.  I should never have watched this video!

Love the sound. Boy!! modern technology, you gotta love it, especially when it works. Enjoy your new engine Alex.

Yeah great sound and nice videos...thanks.

Your welcome Alex

Very classy looking locomotive. Hope you enjoy it as it is a very nice addition to your train inventory.

HELLO, ALEX

We were just unpacking one at the store when I seen your video, and we ran it on our layout and you are right it is outstanding!

Hi everyone

 

I thank you all for the kind words

Stephen, Spence, Chris, Jeff, Pat, and Brent

 

Thanks again, Alex

Mighty nice, Alex.  Thanks for posting.

 

For operating enjoyment, nothing else touches a Legacy locomotive.  I am very impressed with the sound and the smooth operation of your engine.

 

Can you also sound the air horn?  (One would hardly want to, since the steam whistle sounds so good, but I am just curious.)

By pushing the number 6 on your hand held, the air horn should blow. In fact, on the Southern Pacific RR, the Enginemen primarily used the air horn, especially along the coast (route of the Daylights), since the air horn "cut through" the mist & fog much better than the steam whistle. In fact, the steam whistle was only used for signaling the train crew or wayside station personnel. 

Hi Tom thanks for the nice words, Here's a quick video of the air horn and the whistle

 

Hi Carl, thanks for the kind words, I hope you're running trains on that awesome layout you have

 

Thanks, Alex
