This purchase was a little out of my budget range, but I have nobody to blame but myself for the, "Gotta have that on my layout feeling"! I was influenced by certain members here, mainly leapinlarry who has this set too, and Eric Seigel (Eric's Trians) that reviewed the set not to long ago. Anyway it arrived last night via UPS at around 9:30PM! That poor UPS guy was on his 12th hour of deliveries, he looked exhausted! I gave him a to go cup of coffee for the effort, he was most appreciative!
Here's the unboxing and on the layout photos, plus a runnin' light video. I haven't added a locomotive to the fleet in a long time, so I'm jazzed!
Excuse the messy shop bench in my garage during unboxing, I'm gonna have to do something about the mess this weekend.
Arrived very well packaged in a Lionel bulk Fastrack box.
Two Lionel boxes inside:
Outer shipping boxed removed reveals the blue and orange classic Lionel boxes. How exciting! LoL
Okay, let's take them into the train room and crack them open! Oh yeah, like a kid at Christmas!
On the track.: Lionel SF Yellow Bonnet AA set catalog 2233810 and Super Bass B Unit 2233819.
Runnin' light.
Next video, when I find the time, will be pulling the Chief passenger train. Soon I hope!
Happy Railroading.
