Bob, that is a cool little, yet mighty caboose, I really like it! It's very detailed and wood siding is just awesome old school. Hmmm, maybe one day there will be one of those in a western railroad to go on my layout. Thanks for sharing it with us all! Happy Railroading.

Well now that we know Lionel can make them....you just need to find a club or dealer in your area as awesome as NLOE....

That's a great find.

Some guys have all the luck.....😉

The repairs will be a project. I started a separate posting to keep track of my progress.

Sooo, these were new purchase\project for my MPC Southern Crescent loco.

First thing I did was buy the MTH Crescent limited passenger cars. I just think they look good. Not a fan of the mpc version. (Sorry mpc loyalist)

Then, I beefed up the engine by adding a diecast rear truck. The plastic one..no thanks.

Next, I changed the frame on the tender to accommodate diecast 6 wheel trucks. Just looks more muscular. Again , plastic little trucks.. no thanks.

Finally I found a sound of steam board with whistle  all thanks to @ZWPOWER13!

Now I can enjoy a refreshed, but classic engine hauling passengers around town.

Thanks Joe.  I guess the young guy thought that when your hair turned white a guy is supposed to just keep a rocking chair warm.

One of my favorite, of all time is the southern PS4, had pictures of the one at the Smithsonian, and my computer died just after i Loaded them in.  If you can get around to it. would love to see the whole locomotive

FISH FRY at Force Pa. at St. Joseph Church guys.

First time I was able to get to one since the surgery.  It was great of Judy to suggest we go up the hill afterwards to see if Charlie could throw an engine on the test track for us againsince he had recovered from his  surgery ...............well it seems I still have no backbone to resist temtation.

RK  Imperial ps3 Pennsy Turbine.    I've thought about the Imperial version way in the back of my mind for awhile.  Didn't know if I could get along without the chug ,chug chugging.      Well no reason for my fears .......she IS one sweet runner.  ( I've been doing the shrimp selection now Joe )

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.

OMG Gorgeous. Some of us aren't into sound effects. Though.  My sound effects are usually some 1930's big band on the stereo.  Pardon me Boys, but is that the Chattanooga Chu Chu, or Ellington 's A Train
