Lionel Pilot Strasburg 90 Decapod Unboxing 1 of 10! Starring Ryan Kunkle! 

Absolutely! It was insanely cool to be able to unbox one of these at a Lionel Store. I'm so happy you got one too! These pilots are absolutely incredible!! Happy Railroading!!🚂🦁

Its incredible! It is one of the highlights of the store and a true piece of art! Happy Railroading!

Thank you! BOLO for another 90 coming soon!! Happy Railroading!

You said it! I got the 1990s version too and both variations are absolutely incredible!! The level of care they took in the packaging ensured these locomotives arrived safe without any issues. When packing these locomotives, ensure the cab windows are folded in. Sometimes they get caught and can pop off but how Lionel designed them it makes it easy to pop them back in. I hppe so too! Brass Hybrids are some of the best locomotives out there!!

It's definitely an eye catcher!👀🚂

It absolutely is! It's truly a beautiful model and can't believe we have one! Thank you and happy railroading!🚂🦁

Thanks Timothy! National Lionel Train Day was so much fun and I can't wait for next year! These locomotives are some if not the best looking locomotive in the world! Happy Railroading 🚂!

I agree with you here. Overall Lionel has improved over the years and this model required the extra layers of protection. This type of packaging is very similar to the VL GEVO and 0-8-8-0 Switcher. Happy Railroading!

Good catch. I haven't really looked at the model so I'll need to check those out! Happy Railroading!!

Thank you! It's an incredible locomotive and super excited Ryan unboxed it! Happy Railroading!

Thank you! There were only 10 of these produced so the thrill of the hunt begins! Good luck and Happy Railroading!

That's awesome, congratulations! Talking with Ryan, the locomotives came to Lionel however, they were not happy with them (I don't know the specifics) but they ended up sending them back across the water. Which number is yours out of 10!? xx/10!?🚂

3 of 10 per the carton #. At least the outcome was perfect. The small black screw holding the pilot coupler was loose inside the box but that was an easy fix. That tight grab when the foam lid is being placed back over the loco worried me a bit haha. I do wish that when these back to the factory events take place that Lionel would replace the wraps and boxes with new so it doesn't look like one is getting a used product. The first Vision Line loco was on a base with loose screws. That one was a disaster. But the current Lionel team as we saw in Concord during LCCA is top notch and seems to be focused on producing something for everyone with high quality. The licensing efforts are also top notch. Concord was a great convention. Great videos! Michael W. @@will2926
