Thats what I was getting at in my original post as well.
Sometimes, one must do a bit of homework to make sure they are viewing the correct version as Lionel has had multiple runs.
If the model info isn't in the title the upload date will often tell you which release it is. Folks often shoot videos of their new locomotive shortly after they receive it.
Every Loco I've ever purchased was viewed on YouTube prior.
