Not to sound disrespectfu, but only God and the best president to ever run Espee, A.D. McDonald, considered the 4449 and rest of the fleet to be painted in the famous Daylight scheme, Period!

No Red, White & Blue, not black, and for heaven's sake...Never Never BNSF!  Gads, what a chilling thought?

Sort of like the PINK GG1 Williams produced many years ago...

And now the 'Warbonnet' Santa Fe Acela  in the new L catalog...

...which is why I find myself often running...not walking/sauntering...over to Scott Mann's 3rd Rail website for a refreshing view of sanity/dignity after seeing these... ...of the imagination.  (Mom said 'Say something nice or nothing at all!')

This coffee needs something more this morning!...  Where's the Bailey's???

So... these Vision engines are being delivered??? Have others received them? Pics?? Reviews? Thoughts?

Southern Pacific, under Mr. McDonald, was truly Espee's Finest Hour!

Well,,,,,,,,,,,,,that's just your OPINION!  As a member of the crew on 4449, since the summer of 1975, the poor locomotive would STILL be rusting away in Oaks Park, Portland, OR, if it had not been for the American Freedom Train. Personally, I don't care WHAT COLOR 4449 is painted, so long as she continues to operate. We all experienced some fantastic times with 4449, whether in red, white & blue, or red, black & orange, or gloss black (for BN), and to be honest, from my vantage point in the cab, I really didn't care WHAT COLOR she was painted!

Don't these have the new steam cylinder effects?  That would be cool to see.

I just added the Warbonnet Acela to my list from the catalog.  One, I think it's cool, and two, because it irrationally makes people angry that it's being offered

Others I have:

Daylight Cab Forward, Black Bonnet SF pulling SuperChief pax cars, and a modern version Girls Train.

Genoz,  that’s a beautiful set, thank you for the video, it’s really nice. Happy Railroading

LOL.  I like that thinking!

Irrationally perfectly describes it.

That's a sharp looking train @Genoz. Looks great and sounds great!

dkdkrd, you bet, a visit to Scott Mann's 3rd Rail site is Pure Pleasure O scale, and the S gauge boys aren't left out either.  They can enjoy SP steam on the River Raisin site as well!

The closest you'll get to a GS4 from River Raisin is one of these...

Which in OK by me, I prefer the MT-4/5 over the GS4 anyway.

Is the Mars light working?

Beautiful engine, Genoz... while I love the Daylight scheme (I have one from the last Legacy run), I think the Freedom Train scheme was the classiest of all the Bicentennial schemes. Is that the late 40’s Freedom Train on the upper level??? If so, that’s a great pairing. Thanks for sharing.

Didn't look like it. Plus, why the green class lights?????

Probably because the look "pretty" and no one at Lionel understands the meaning of class lights.

The operator can change those to white or turn them off using the CAB2.

Marty is correct on the class light color(s). While a relatively new feature, it has been/will be rolled into the new engines as Dave demonstrated with his recent Facebook Live sessions.

thanks for posting the video of your new engine and cars, it's really beautiful!

Love the green class lights - also the option to change the color - good job Lionel
