Just received this lovely if expensive fantasy paint scheme loco. Operates perfectly in conventional and TMCC. Haven't added the separately packaged pantographs as yet. Sounds are particularly clear and loud. Horn will definitely loosen any questionable fillings in your teeth

Operates fine on O36 Fastrack, by the way.
The road number - 380 - is interesting. The New Haven's last passenger electric motors were EP-5s 370 to 379. Presumably, number 380 would be the first EP-6?

Beautiful model!
Thank you for the radius note, I was trying to find out if it worked on O48, but O36 is even better!
That is sharp-looking.
Am liking the fantasy scale models more and more as I get older
I'm really close to getting the Great Northern version, I know GN didn't have any bipolar engines, but these are really sharp looking.
Awesome looking locomotive.
And even better, there are medications for that condition now, Doctor! LOL

I think the New Haven version is one the sharpest ones in the fantasy schemes that Lionel came out with.
Can't decide which is nicer NH or GN. It hurts to see these beautiful paint schemes and know they aren't prototypical which is the only thing stopping me from getting one.
The New York Central is equally fantasy and equally beautiful. Would love to have the three (GN, NH, NYC), but that seems the path to madness .

Not to entice the madness, but the bipolar looks great double-headed...and as the Milwaukee Road actually did in real life so can we...and even with fantasy liveries and thus take it to an even greater level of folly
How about the Pennsy 5 stripe version? That would be my pick as I am a Pennsy guy.
AS I LOST MOST OF MY N.H. TRAINS DURING OUR FIRE I JUST HAD TO GET THIS LOCO. IT MIGHT BE ONLY A STATIC DISPLAY BUT WE'LL SOON SURROUND SAME W/A STATIC YARD DISPLAY.

Very nice fantasy bi-polar!
I picked up just today a fantasy NH GG1 in HO scale. Would love to see one of these in O scale about 20 inches long!

Yeah, that’s certainly a fantasy — a GG1 on Alco diesel trucks. Good ol’ Tyco.
If it ain't Milwaukee Road, it ain't a Bipolar. Don
