Reply to "Prewar Lionel 225 and some tinplate fun"

The 226 by far is the best engine out of my roster. Just a smooth, quiet running engine. The detailing for a 1938 model is still a marvel to me. The detail and sound of a prewar whistle in the 2226w is awesome. The added detail of the firebox glow is extremely enjoyable as well. The 225 is an excellent puller. I had no worries loading the gondolas with some small rocks. It doesn't even phase the engine. My 224e has been a little bit of a basket case. But for the price I paid well worth it. Nice to work on these units as well. Can't see myself ever owning a 763 or 700 due to price and 072 radius they require. Could be wrong,but those just seem to fragile and I don't know if I could trust myself with those.
