I had a old VHS of a history of lionel that ended with a stationStop of the Texas special with a cool sequence of cab talk and was trying to find a video of this set. Anyone know this set?

It could be either the Lionel Legacy Texas Special E7 AB set or the Post War Celebration Texas Special F3 AB set. Do you remember what engine it was?

Pretty sure it was the Postwar Celebration #2245 F-3 that Lionel made in 1999. Very attractive set, and definitely one of my favorite diesel horns.
TM raved about this engine on their website, toytrainrevue.com

For the PWC F-3 set Lionel later released a Legacy sounds B unit. I have this B unit and the sounds are floor shaking. I have the complete set including both RailSounds and the Legacy sounds B unit.

It was the Postwar Celebration series.
Sorry for not replying been busy and yes it was the 1999 post war celebration set.
Is there any videos of this set online anywhere?

Did you check YouTube?
I could make one with my set but it will take me awhile.

There are currently no videos of the set on YouTube, as a matter of fact.
Ya I searched multiple different entries to try and find it. But was to no avail.
