A LOOK AT THE NEW LIONEL THEATER CAR

Really neat Alex!!!

Very Nice looking car. Hopefully we won't see the QC issues on these as we did with the UP Excursion cars.

My entire UP excursion set came free of any issues. It’s an awesome set. 

Thanks Alex for the videos and sneak peek!! I’m looking forward to the UP edition!!!

NOW THAT is really COOL! 

Thanks Alex... so when are they coming in?

Anybody notice the flat theater seating??? Are they going to fix that?

Steve

Alex, Thanks for the video.  I like it!  I'm glad to hear that the camera installation was straight forward.

Hi Steve 

The theater seating isn’t flat , see the picture. I placed a level from the back to towards the front , there’s a full bubble difference in height. 

I could see that it was inclined from your one video. I didn't get the question.

Hi Marty 

I agree with you too , you can see in the video that the seats and floor rise up as they go from Back to front. Nice work by Lionel

Nice video Alex. Can't wait to get mine

Nice Alex - Thanks. Hard to tell from the 'video of a video' but do you see any degradation of video quality through the glass or unwanted reflections from it either?  Is it 'glass' or something else?

This is awesome Alex...  thanks for sharing and for your continued work in keeping us in the loop as projects progress at the mother ship.  😁

It was mentioned earlier but I hadn’t seen anything else on it... any thoughts on when we may see them shipped?  Looks like they have a solid prototype...  shouldn’t be hard to get moving on them now.  

I'd like to thank Dave and Ryan for letting Alex give us these sneak peeks.  Thanks to Alex for taking the time to do this.  It's really appreciated.

Hi all, 

Dave just shippped this to me so I could post pictures and videos. This is just the Prototype, if you have any questions I’ll  do my best to answer them. Dave prepped me well on this. Hope you all enjoy !

The last video (if it works ) is a video of a video if that makes sense, it won’t let me upload the theater car video. I had to use another I phone and take a video of the video  LOL  😂 If I figure it out I’ll let you all know  

 

When I first saw these two photos I thought they were flat also but watching the video I see the seats are not flat.  My question is what is the big black thing in the middle top of the rear glass?  Does the real car have a TV or projection screen there?

Hi Sam

It's not glass, it's a plastic material and there was absolutely no reflections or issues.

Thanks, Alex

Hi Gene,

That square plate seems to be a glare guard to block the interior cab overhead LED lighting from the video camera.

Thanks, Alex

Hi Byron,

I thank you for your nice comments, last i heard these cars are suppose to be released October/November. IMO they will be released Christmas time.
