The BIGGEST Steam Engine in my Collection?! 

These Lionel locomotives are actually made by the folks who made some of the finest brass locomotives back in the heydays of brass. They still do the occasional hybrid projects for some well known importers. All around, Lionel and their supply partners have done a stellar job over the last few decades to produce the great lineup we have today.

I just love the blackbonnet paint schemes on the ATSF Steamers. That is just so sleek and amazing looking. Also gotta love that turtle back tender.

I liked the whistle of the 24-wheeler. It is more like I expect a steam whistle to sound. The other one sounds more like a ship. The fantasy passenger set, combined with the new locomotive, was absolutely stunning!

Yep, I was torn between the Valley Flyer and the Black Bonnet too, but in the end I decided on the Valley Flyer and it is gorgeous, both are gorgeous! Thanks and enjoy!

I am impressed! I just gotta get one... One of each that is. Love the whistle contest. They do sound real.

The shot of all the locos running is probably the coolest shot I have ever seen from anyones layout honestly. Only question is how did your circuit breaker survive that?

I never knew that Lionel made such realistic engines!

The big boy whistle always wins for my opinion but the whistle of the 2-10-2 is also amazing love your videos keep up the good work

WOW! Absolutely Beautiful! Phenomenal Collection. Thanks for sharing . The Doublehead is incredible!

Another awesome video Chris and dear god what an incredible display of the red and black!

The swinging bell is the best one I've ever seen on a Lionel engine. The default whistle is definitely best. The second one is actually from the Southern Pacific AC-12 Cab Forward.

My absolute favourite train channel. Thanks for all the good content!! Greetings from Argentina

Love the Details. Just watching is Speechless.

Welcome Back ! I sat back and totally enjoyed your video. You are very informative and very well spoken. It's always a pleasure and look forward to your next show. Thank You.

That has to be the most incredible engine. Congrats and as before thanks sharing.

Cool addition to your collection! Love those K-line passenger cars! They look so nice behind any of you "Black Bonnet" locomotives. Enjoy!

Fantastic as always Chris! What an absolute beauty and congratulations on adding such a unique engine to your collection! The cinematography just keeps getting better and better making for one impressive video! Thank you for sharing this with us my friend and keep it up!!

210102 beautiful! Love the way you explain the details, I must have this train ! Thank you so much!

the big boy whistle is still the best! thanks for making awesome videos I love to watch all your cool trains!

That double-header was amazing!! What beautiful shots and a dazzling engine the 2-10-10-2 is

I’m happy you decided to pick one up! Love the shot of all the big steam engines moving and the double header!

Another fun and enjoyable episode, Chris. Thank you! The Big Boy whistle still gets my vote.

Fantastic collection!

That is probably the sexiest train I have seen yet!! Great set up RBP!!

Love this video Chris amazing work that's one big engine and so beautiful

This is a magnificent video about this Legacy Train

Wonderful, just wonderful!

That shot of all the big steamers rolling out without question has to be one of the coolest model railroad shots I've ever seen the house hold must have loved the noise haha! Well done

That is one beautiful beast! Love those K-Line passenger cars too!

Thank u for showing us a beautiful collection....really cool collection.....im self big big fan of steam locomotive and all these big engine will always fascinating me....woow!!👍👍🔥🔥🔥😎😎

That is a cool engine Chris! That paint scheme, though not prototypical, is pretty darn nice. Thanks for running it and showing off all the features it has.

Wow! Incredible engine! What an inspiration just like the Black Bonnet 4-8-4s.

I like the Santa Fe 2-10-10-2. Congratulations on adding it to your collection. Great video.

Only seeing this video now, what a magnificent looking locomotive! Glad you went with the black bonnet scheme. It's really nice.

Thats sick when you ran all of them side by side. Great video

I remember that “steam” having such a distinct smell from when I was a kid. I saw this thing puffing down the track and my brain flashed immediately into remembering that sensation.

That set "consist!" Is absolutely perfect/gorgeous!!😍

Great video. One of my favorite steam locomotives. Hello from the Tracy Mountain Railway in Colorado. 💙 T.E.N.

Great video! Really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing!

Wow she’s massive! Love that paint job!

I love all your videos and I love the hard work that you put in your videos but this 2-10-10-2 is my favorite train that you have showed.

that thing is amazing... love all the smoke features

Dude I LOVE how steam comes out of the whistle every time you press the whistle button, such a small yet brilliant detail that really brings the model to life

I want to confess something. All these engines and their electronic sounds, they give an eargasm. It's so good I can't describe it any better than that. I can only wish to hear those roaring engine sounds IRL.

The passenger car set is AWESOME!!

Great collection and layout. Big Boy whistle with its deep throat sound gets my vote - but not by much. Thanks for sharing.

That is the biggest articulated steam engine I have ever seen! It's so cool looking!

Once again an awesome video, thanks for posting.

All are great looking engines, but My favorite is that Santa Fe black bonnet. Wow what a beauty!!!! Great video as always my friend.

Oh wow that Bonnet paint scheme looks amazing on the 2-10-10-2!!

Awesome video Chris! I love the 2-10-10-2’s. I hope to get one for my birthday that is coming up. That thing is sick! I’m sad that they scrapped all of them in real life. Keep up the awesome work!

Great to see all these giants together! A fantastic collection of the most powerful steamers ever built! Too bad that in reality, the 2-10-10-2 didn't quite make the grade. But the appearance is powerful! Thanks for sharing.

Absolutely amazing train 🚂😎👍❤️❤️❤️

i love steam whistles of any pitch. those all sound great.

The shot of all the locos running is possibly one of the best if not THE best thing i have ever seen in my life. It would be a railfan’s dream to see all of these locos all in the same place. It would have been amazing to hear these behemoths all running at the same time. Though, due to my autism, i would absolutely hate the noise, because autistic people get very overstimulated in loud environments. If you overwhelm even ONE of their senses, they’ll start looking very uncomfortable with the situation presented to them.

I actually saw the swinging bell in the debut of the video. I love the whistle. These trains are my favorite. Too bad you aren't single lol

That engine is beyond gorgeous......amazing what it can do too......

What an awesome engine Chris! Love that tender!

Awesome locomotive man!! Every part about it is spectacular!!

Man that’s beautiful 🤩👍great video love it 🚂💨💨💨💨

💪🏼 As we say in Baahhhstin THATS POWAH‼️💪🏼 . Great video as always TRAIN FAM‼️🤘🏼

Happy 17k subs rbp!

Wow Chris, this was such an awesome video! I do think that the 2 10 10 2’s whistle was a bit better though. I am surprised that your train yard was able to handle the massive weight that those Mega trains must have had. Your right though, to be able to have seen such a gathering of giant per portions. Thank you for bringing them all together for us on your layout. It was nice to see the Big boy again. Your black Santa Fe cars looked so cool! Keep them coming Bud I really love your shows.

great video, as always.

Thanks for saying hi to my son at Strasburg! That meant a lot 🤗

What a Awesome Train Love it 2-10-10-2 has the best whistle in my opinion and wifes opinion as well.

I love this! I want me one! Thanks for sharing Chris

Wow, this is a great video, keep up the great work!

2-10-10-2 trains are so cool!

I like your layout!

So nice Trains 👍🚂🇺🇸

Wow you have one seriously awesome railroad

Good grief, that is massive! HOLY CRAP!

Cmon man! Big Boy all the way, what a dream collection you have. I have a Big Boy, Y6B and a Texas 2-10-4, sold my Allegheny for the big turbine! Your videos are the best thanks and keep up the great reviews

Awesomely cool locomotive

Hi Chris, Both are beautiful engines, both sound great but I’m still partial to the Big Boy, it sounds amazing 👍🏻 I’m liking the paint on the 2-10-10-2 but to me, the wheels just seem undersized, the features are amazing on it and I wish they would’ve put those on the Big Boy or at least so they work as well as your newest acquisition. Thanks again for a great video. Ron

I love this Video Chris! Also for Whistle war, Big boy all the way!

Got to love the 2 - 10 - 10 - 2 engine.

Big Boy by a long shot, that engine is just badass. Long live the king

That's an incredible model!

"It's a lot of wheels" Got that right! Awesome steam engine Chris. Black Bonnet looks great on that model.

I'm in love with both whistles but I'm partial to Big Boy as you can tell from my profile picture. 😆 Thanks to videos like yours, I've started model Railroading. Currently doing a 5x10 ho scale layout in the garage.

Congratulations Chris, I picked mine up yesterday as well. Additionally, after poo-pooing the Base Cab-3, upon reading more and understanding more are warming up to the idea. Gonna pre-order one.

Wow, what an investment you must have. Great video as always.

2-10-10-2?!!!? Wow that’s amazing

Keep up the great work love watching your videos can’t wait to start mind some day keep up the great work

A 2-10-10-2!!! Thats cool!

Beautiful locomotive ... Love the default whistle ... great vid ... Regards, - Anthony - Anthony's Hobby Corner .

What an amazing collection of bohemth engines always a fun video I still like the haunting big boy whistle 👍

Excellent video! I bet your inspiring people to get into Lionel trains. Lionel should have you do commercials for their trains, old and vintage ones! Once you get into Lionel trains your hooked! It is such a great Hobbie I have been doing for almost 25 years. I have learned how to Sodder loose wire on my train's engines. Hook-up the vintage switches, I repaired My vintage KW Transformer.

Awesome smoke

thanks for the info great loco

that sure is big. love it

So sorry I missed you guys at Stockyard Express.....40 min from my house I would have driven there just to meet you. Have been at Stockyard Express many times!!! You guys had a great time!!

Both whistles are great, but I still prefer the Big Boy/. May God bless you and yours.

Amazing 🤩!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just saw the size of it in your hands and I just had to watch this

Wow pretty sick man 🚂

I vote for the Big Boy whistle. The two Santa Fe steam engines lashed together looks really good!

Wow thank you chris
