Does anyone have the new Polar Express steam engine with Railsounds and whistle effect steam?  I would sure like to see video on how good it works.  My granddaughters want this for Christmas.

Thanks for the tip to search Google to see videos of the newest model of Lionel's Polar Express steam locomotive with the whistle steam effect. This is a very nice upgrade to the regular-sized PE engine.

 

 

Clearly, Polar Express is STILL a very popular item for Lionel. As we all know, the company even created its own Polar Railroad knock off that matches Polar Express quite well -- and as this post states, a new Polar Express R-T-R freight set is coming soon (I can hardly wait!).

 

Does anyone think Lionel will ever offer a regular-size edition of the Polar Express engine with Odyssey speed control and Legacy command? I believe (no pun intended) that if Lionel does release an Odyssey/Legacy edition of the PE steam loco, it would be very popular -- especially for those of us on a budget. The scale PE Pere Marquette was beyond my budget and beyond the max curve size of my Fastrack layout.

 

I will keep hoping for Lionel to issue an Odyssey/Legacy equipped edition of the regular-sized Polar Express locomotive. Will it ever happen? Who knows? But since Lionel keeps milking the Polar Express series, it is possible that one day my wish will come true.

That is my video and I have the lcomotive. It is very nice indeed i have to say. It has railsounds not trainsounds, a die cast tender shell, an all metal whistle and a nicer bell, cab figures, it smokes so much better than the first one, and the sounds are also so so so so so much better than the old one. I have the air whistle one and you couldnt even hear it. I put an led in it and it is on my channel. I would definitely reccomend it.
