We have a winner ! The Lionel GP-35

You're just trying to get in whatshisname's good books. Don't waste your time Mike Reagan's already been in his ear.

I take it you're rather satisfied with your purchase, Scrapiron?  

 

Note to Howard Hitchcock:  Be wary of this Scrapiron fellow!  

Yeah I am thinking of pre-ordering one of these GP-35 locomotives. 

 

The turbo whine in the sound set and the bass this engine has is amazing. You could even tell from the Lionel Customer Service video. 

 

Video???????  

The Denver & Rio Grande Western and Western Pacific GP35 diesels would look and sound great pulling trains over a mountain, through a tunnel, and beside a river in a valley.

I have to agree with Scrappy.  I have the Lionel PRR GP35 and the sounds are indeed awsome.  On top of that it's great looking and runs, and runs, and runs.

 

On another loop is the Lionmaster PRR T1.  Another engine with great sounds.  Nice and loud.

 

My new Legacy Tuscan PRR K4 has good sounds also, but low volume.

I love my GP-35 too. The sounds are amazing, and the detail is superb. 

 

Here's a video that I first posted a few months ago. The flickering number boards are purely due to the camera that I used. 

I like them so much that I have 2 of them, 1 Union Pacific and 1 Southern Pacific. They run and sound great!

I own one in Milwaukee and am thrilled Lionel is running them in DT&I.

Oh boy is he ever.

I always wondered how to spell that.......

 

Big deal! You can get a Williams GP30 with "prime mover sounds" for half the cost of  a legacy diesel!.............................. that thing sounds awesome Nicole!

I too have one  extremely nice engine   

I've got a buddy who has 2 Illinois Central Gulf GP35s and the Doppler echoing on startup is indescribable.

George Brown reviewed the Lionel GP-35 in the June/July issue , which should be out to you shortly.  George has nice things to say about it, which makes me happy because he used my Erie Lackawanna GP-35 for his review!  He even sent it back to me after he was done

 

Now that is being a real gentleman.

Slightly off-topic.

 

A few years ago, I posted a topic asking what scale Legacy locomotives look OK with traditional size rolling stock. Some of the answers included:

GP7

GP30

GP38-2

 

The GP35 is a similar size lengthwise according to the catalog to the GP30 and GP38-2 (and the GP7 for that matter, but different body style).

 

Is it safe to assume the GP35 is going to look OK with traditional size cars?

Was going to get the burlington route from a few years back used. So glad I waited! I am also glad they re did this one with legacy. I was afraid they would not do this road name again. I am going to try to get the rock island one also,

Dr. Boyle . . . . . New York Central black is the only scheme. Please !

trestrainfan: The GP-35 should go fine with traditional size cars.......
