It has been far to long since I posted a video of my layout. There just hasn't been enough time this summer but now that it is winding down I have more time. I pulled out the only two Lionel Legacy diesels on the roster and performed my first ever Legacy Lash-Up which was surprisingly easy to set up. I have to say that the smoke units are weak so I shut them off.

An interesting thing to note is that the first two boxcars are the same but from different manufacturers. They are both NKP Automobile Boxcars but the all boxcar red is MTH Premier and the second with the black roof and ends is Lionel. Aside from the color differences the Lionel has an opening end door for autos while on the MTH version it is molded onto the body. Both are the same number series.

Very, very cool!

If you're ever interested in running the Lionel Legacy NKP ES44AC in a lash up and taking video, just let me know.  (It smokes really well.....but I rarely use that feature on my diesels.  Only when visitors are over, really.)  I'm still slumming it with TMCC so it could probably use some run time with the good stuff.

BTW:  Is the NKP Flat Car with pipes a Lionel model from a few years back?

Regardless, job well done!

p.s. - Just noticed the blue NKP hopper with the map on it.  Mind if I bug you for who made it and a model number?

Glad you like it! I do not own the Lionel Legacy NKP ES44AC all of my Heritage Units are MTH Premier Line but it would be fun to do a collaboration.

The NKP Flat Car with Pipes is an Atlas O model from a long time ago. The NKP Map Hopper is MTH RailKing http://mthtrains.com/30-75535. I got it from Uncle Ray's Trains in Sheffield and they are still available as are most of the new MTH Nickel Plate Road products since they decided to not hire me. If they did they all would of been SOLD OUT the moment they hit the shelves like the NKP ALCO PA's and other things.
