Also the Lionel vision 4014 is more in tune with the actual locomotive, cause even though I did not get to see the real one in person, but I did get to hear it's whistle and I can tell right away the Lionel 4014 is the better locomotive and I also saw a KZread video of Big Boy 4014 clearing his throat and getting all the gunk out of the whistles and sounded exactly like the Lionel. If you get a chance to do so, get on KZread and look up big boy 4014 blowing whistles after some years of storage.

While the MTH whistle sounds more accurate, as I’m sure they recorded the Big Boy’s whistle in person, I think that Lionel captures the power of it much better than MTH.

What a great haul of locomotives. Lionel gets my vote in the whistle off.

First and foremost, the Lego crowd made me smile. Second, the whistle: the Lionel whistle had more depth and character, at least in my opinion. That’s a fantastic haul Chris, thanks for sharing.

Haha! I watched the real ceremony video and was desperately trying to find a way for a reenactment. Thank you Lego!

Over the years, MTH's sound engineers have always been one to ten steps behind Lionel when it comes to train whistles and robust steam sounds. They didn't disappoint with the MTH restoration Big Boy, Lionel by a landslide.

Both whistles are good, but the Lionel gave me chills up my spine. When I saw the Big Boy go through our town back in July of 2019, that's exactly how the whistle sounded.

As for the whistle challenge, I have mixed feelings. I like the MTH Big Boy sound for its crispness, but I also like the Legacy Big Boy for its deep tone. It's very close the N&W 644, a very haunting sound, indeed, so refrain from making choice. Thanks for sharing your prosperous day collecting at York!

@@voidthe3f859 That’s actually how I got started with trains! My 10 year old son at the time (16 years ago) was well over the while Santa thing but he was a good sport as he had his little 5 year old brother. He told me he didn’t believe anymore and we had just recently watched the Polar Express movie. I was telling a good friend of mine at work about my Santa dilemma and how I missed that innocence. Space my friend happened to be a train enthusiast and was quite a bit older than me and had trains when he was a little kid. Space he suggested that I get the new Lionell polar express set and set it up Christmas Eve so that when the boys came down I might get one last you know I have a reaction from my 10-year-old. Space I did exactly that about some parchment paper and a gold sharpie and I wrote a letter from Santa with the bell that comes with the set and have a set running Christmas morning and they woke up to that sound of the train running. Space one of the all-time greatest Christmas moments for my kids and I’m sure it’s something they will never forget. Space but, a monster was born as I just love the train and each year I started the tradition of adding new train sets accessories buildings etc. My oldest son is also a two-time cancer survivor and because of this we have a family tradition we’re both sides of the family come to my house on Christmas Day because when he was sick we couldn’t travel. Christmas with my nieces and nephews growing up watching my Christmas layout trains have been a magical part of our Christmas tradition. So now I’m a train guy for life but lacking the true train guy skills LOL

Fun video, Chris! You always do such a good job with your videos. Loved the use of the Lego figures. Being a diesel man, I really liked seeing that CSX lash-up too! Regarding the whistle challenge, I have to agree. I'd say the Lionel #4014 wins, but only by a hair. Great video! Bill B.

Fun video as always Chris! Let's take a few things seriatim. Whistle battle? As much as I admire MTH products I've got to give it to the Lionel 4014. Bolder, guttier, and more authoritative. The MTH whistle ain't bad, but the Lionel is better. LOVE that crowd scene! VERY clever! TWO vintage scale Hudsons with "Mighty Sound of Steam!" Great! And your's WORKS! I picked up a Lionel ACL Hudson earlier this year with "MSoS" but when I shot the power to it I got the "Mighty Sound of Agony!" It let out a blood-curdling scream! Hey, no biggie, I pulled the bad sound unit out and installed a Williams steam whistle and bell package. It's fine now. Congratulations! Great scores all around!
