LIONEL 6-82272 TEN WHEELER 4-6-0 LOCOMOTIVE

Erics trains did a video of a similar one. I suspect the New Haven will be similar save the sounds. Detail is unchanged from the first Odyssey version but they all run fine with no issues. I think they were cataloged in 2015. Not sure when they were delivered.

When you see one for a reasonable price  - snap it up. They have great sounds and run perfectly.

I have the NYC on the first release and the only issue I had was the smoke unit on/off. For some reason the only way I could shut it off was with the TMCC remote. I sent it back and Lionel repaired it at no cost.

Great little engine.

NORTON and JDADDY,

Thanks much!

One of my "last" Lionel preorders.  Solid runner with no issues.

RickO, I like your layout. John

I have the SP one and it's a great runner.  Can't comment on conventional running as I have run it mostly Legacy, but I did run it some in conventional when I was testing John's YLB.  Since nothing sticks out in my mind from doing so I'd say it ran fine conventionally.

My new Lionel 6-82272 New Haven 4-6-0 Ten-Wheeler #816 arrived today in perfect condition. It is a great-looking engine! I did a brief test run (conventional) and everything operated properly. The whistle and bell are terrific and I really like the chuffing which is very realistic - four chuffs per driver revolution. I’m glad that I made the purchase. Thanks to NORTON, JDADDY, RICKO and SINCLAIR who took the time to help me with their advice.

Enjoy.  I have the NYC one and it is great.  Love running these engines.  Have fun with yours.

Yes, I was born late too.

Just bought one for $150. untested. Looks to be in good shape with box and all else. Would be a bummer if it didn't work, but for that price, I couldn't pass it up.

150 bucks would be a steal if it was an empty shell. You did good.

Nice purchase Mel. Enjoy.

Looking forward to getting it as it's my first o-gauge ten wheeler and first modern Lionel engine. Got tired of looking at the same old drive wheels on Railking steamers and needed something different. It's a Frisco Lionel #6-38043 .Watched a few videos on YouTube and really love the deep chuffing and the whistle sounds great!

I was kinda like yeah right, baloney ,…..I paid 350.00 a piece for my two, and thought that was a killer deal,…..I seen the ad where you must’ve gotten yours!,..that’s a heck of a steal!…..good luck, I hope it runs like new for you!….great find!!…

I see why it was so cheap- the tender is on backwards! JohnA

I just bought a rather new version, the Soo Line #2645, although it is a generic engine with different roadnames, since our Museum has the real engine, I wanted to get it. I was extremely impressed with the operation, in TMCC mode. I didn't realize it had whistle smoke, and the "steam" coming out is super, unlike my Lionel UP 4-12-2! The new to me version of smoke output is interesting. Three taps of the button increases output with each tap, and vice versa to shut off the smoke. I like the white lights of the class lamps, and it sounds like if I had Legacy, I could change the color to green for a "second section". The instructions also mentioned a number of different whistles, which I did not know existed. Glad to see that feature is now available, but I will need to buy a Legacy set to do this. Now to investigate how good a Legacy system is. Another item I liked was Lionel put a more accurate headlight on the engine. The Soo Line for many years used the same style headlight that was always on the N.P. locomotives; and it has lit numbers on the two sides and the front top like it should! I wish it did have a back up tender headlight, but........These are some of my observations with what I feel are new nice upgrades from Lionel's original releases. Full price paid at $749

Type of engine l think of as operated by shortlines...what roadnames has this been offered in, beyond those mentioned here?

Lionel also produced another engine number and road of an engine we have at our Museum in North Freedom (currently being rebuilt off property). That is C&NW #1385. R-1 class. C&NW had 325 of these ten-wheelers in real life. Will attach several photos of 2645 & 1385

Anybody want to buy a non-working Ten wheeler?  I figured it was a 50/50 chance it would work and it kind of does. It's nicer than I thought and would love to get it fixed, but I don't know who does that sort of thing. It moves forward and reverse very slowly, regardless of how much power I apply. The engine sounds work, as do the shutting down sequence, horn and bell, but no chuffing. I'm assuming it's a blown board or something?  It was a terrible packing job! The box was well protected, but they didn't wrap the engine and tender, so it bounced around inside the foam. Some people.  Anybody have any idea's of what it might be? I LOVE the whistle! It has this reverb to it, very cool.

Kittytrain1969,

     Are you using a Legacy Cab2 to run the engine? If so make sure the train brake is not on. If there is a solid blue line at the bottom of the Legacy display screen the brake is on. Slide the brake lever up and down a few times to free as sometimes they stick on. Once the solid blue line is gone the brake is off. Good luck, If it is truly needs fixing try GRJ or my guy Alex M for repairs.
