    She did a great job. I laughed so hard when I saw this car in the catalog. I am a big DC Comics fan, so I have been getting pretty much all of them. And I can’t wait for the Flash and Batman engines later this year.

    Ah, a charming young lady after my own heart! She likes to run trains just like I do, FAST AND FASTER! 🤣🤣🤣 (One of my MTH steam engines almost wound up in a china cabinet when I did so, but that's another story! ) Anyway, Ray you beat me to the punch! When I saw the title "Wonder Woman Invisible Jet Flatcar" the first thing I thought was "I'll bet Ray's little girl's gonna love this one!" And look who did the review! Perfect! Thanks for posting! Made my evening!

    You are right, all the GG1's and the accompanying passenger car sets were a bit much. Also the fact that they cover celebrates the Polar Express and there were none in the book was a bit of a burn. And yeah, I'll be looking for a Ferromex at York in 2025. And I received my CAB3, I expect a video soon...

    Nice! Another great review of the Vol. 2 catalog. Quite a lot here is way too expensive and I think that it will price many out of the new train market. $1300+ for a 4 pack of scale passenger cars is a bit too much, really. A Hudson with a Niagara number is kind of goofy, really. The new Lionmaster line is a good thing and the variety that they offer is quite good and the engines are more affordable than the Legacy/Vision Line stuff and still have some excellent features. I think that the freight cars are pretty nice and fairly affordable. As far as having foreign languages in the crew talk, it really wouldn't be too prototypical. Just like Air Traffic Control, everything is in English. If you go to border crossing, you may hear them talking to one of their dispatchers, but, otherwise, no. I've run quite a few Mexican and Canadian locomotives and while they are dual language engines, I've never heard any language other than English, here in the States. Either way, Ray, a fine review and an excellent video, as always.

I do agree though they didn’t seem to give a shit about it in their livestream haha

    Love the GG1 (The Senator) oxide red first pick. I have a HO scale version.one of the most beautiful electric locomotive that ever graced the northeast rails. When Amtrak inherited some of the passenger equipment they painted some GG1 units black and some silver with a red nose, nicknamed (bloody nose) ,the worst paint scheme ever,LOL.

    If you bought two new legacy diesel locomotives over the year that's $1200. So no, $1450 isn't bad. It's the 2nd run for the Penn Central heritage unit. I want the Cargill version for my Cargill facility. The Lionel SD40-2 is a great locomotive. CNJ really did run the heavy Mikado. I have to see if I can save funds for the Conrail GG1

    Great video. One of my DCS explorers died. Got out my DCS remote and used it to run my MTH PS3 premier Amtrak Genesis engine. Had to factory reset the engine to get remote to work. I was going to sell my DCS remotes but have decided I need to keep them just in case MTH stops supporting the apps in the future. My kids had a virtual reality view master and the app was discontinued and they couldn’t use the view master anymore. Going to buy another LionChief remote just in case. I love the Lionel and MTH apps but they may not be there forever.

    I think train makers think less about design and more about redesign so that you need new equipment and new cars. It evolves so quickly that they become obsolete before they can get dusty.

    Great job Ray! What MTH engines should you go for? Speaking personally they're all good, I haven't had a bad one yet. Considering the size of your layout I'd suggest going with MTH's RailKing series, they'd be a good fit for the layout and the prices are VERY reasonable. Since you like diesels some of the Premiere scale sized units might work as well but you'd have to be sure of your clearances and curve diameters. Premiere's are going to cost more as well. Thanks for posting!
