2-10-10-2 Arrival (and problems)

That won't fit under the tree!!

Wow, that paint scheme is fantastic 🤤

Hmmm, I bet I know what the whistle on the vl Class a will sound like.

Also interesting, that sounds like a new/fresh hooter whistle for Lionel. Wonder where that came from?...hmm.

That loco is amazing! Hats off to Lionel. Drop dead gorgeous! Think I will stay away from it as I couldn't deal with having to find someone on my own to repair it when the warranty runs out.

I would think if they have it in the store it shipped. Also note the price tag riding on top of the Tinder.

I hope it shipped. That would be pretty cool to get it soon. Although I have no curves big enough to run it at the moment.

Nassau Hobby has them in stock.

My mistake, I thought you were debating whether Lionel had shipped them to the stores.

Nah haha @shasta I deduced that they came across the ocean. It was the remaining trip to my porch that I was curious about

Just another reminder of how strong the 2021 Catalog was.  It scares me to think of the financial shape I would be in without my "one loco / year" limit.

Got mine.

It beat my wallet up but it was worth it for sentimental reasons.

I know it was well received. I hope they nail it this time too. It's such an interesting looking locomotive because of the way the boiler looks. I guess it looks undersized to me.

Its was undersized it was two regular 2-10-2's hob cobbled together and it was a huge failure for SF so much so alot of them were turned back into regular 2 -10-2's.

Forgive my ignorance, but what kind of consists was that engine designed to pull?

It was an unsuccessful freight locomotive.  The were eventually rebuilt into 2-10-2's between 1915-1918.
