Good evening everyone,

 

Between it being a gloomy rainy day, and seeing all those beautiful pictures of the 765 in action. It put me in the mood to shoot a few video's. I've had the Lionel UP FEF for quite a while, but I just found the Lionel aluminum passenger car's new in box.This was there first run together. What a beautiful consist, the observation car is really beautiful. Thanks for looking, enjoy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Thanks, Alex

Given the trucks have the shiny silver finish, these look to be the 4-pack 18" set that Lionel produced in 2008 to accompany the 844.  Terrific looking cars.  (The earlier UP "City of Denver" set had the dull grey finish on the trucks.)

 

Very nice videos, Alex.  Thanks for posting!

Yes, I've worked out that these are the cars from the 2008 catalog. Impossible to find . . . Although the vistadome seems to have been re-issued in 2011.

Hi Guys, I thank all of you very much for the kind words !!!!!

 

Don and Alan, yes the whistle is awesome

 

Mike R , Ralph mind if I smoke, I don't care if you burn

 

Drelo,  yes there 18 inch cars on 072 curves

 

Hancock52, the item number to these cars are 6-35415, I was lucky enough to find them on the Trainz.com auction site.

 

I will have some close up photo's a little later on

 

Thanks to all, Alex

Yes, a UP 2-pack was added to the roster.  

 

UP enthusiasts can also look forward to the "City of Los Angeles" 4-pack that was catalog'd this year.  Just won't know definitively if it will get the shiny silver treatment on the trucks... Or the dull grey finish.

I run this same version of the 844 with the Lionel coaches you have shown on the video. I like this train so much that it is always on one of my main lines. Thanks for posting these excellent videos.

 

There was a two-pack and a Station Sounds Diner that goes with this set as well. I run the 7 car set.

 

Sam, WOW Passenger Train Collector 2, I like the sounds of that.
