@41:27 I always adored the Standard gauge trains, especially the 400E! To think years later MTH/Lionel would team up again to bring back these great trains for new generations, even if that was only for ten years, but it was great while it lasted! 😃

I still have my 226E tin plate train that I got when I was 3 in 1943. It still runs. Also have an original 671 turbine made in 1949. Unfortunately they live in their boxes due to lack of space to run them. I like to stick to the trains made in the 1950s or earlier.

Thanks for posting this video. Hopefully you can post some more TM videos.

6:23 Awesome music here

I wish Lionel would bring back manufacturing to the United States

I grew up watching these, mom would rent them from the local library and I would wear out the tapes

I had a very nice HO layout,but my friend had a fantastic Lionel puffer set.

Many happy memories. I recently donated all my train stuff to the Illinois Railway Museum. Nobody was interested in it and I was glad to give all of it to them. At least some hoarder won't get it so ends up in a landfill.

Really nice and historic in itself look at Lionel, personally I collect both Standard gauge and postwar, thing is I live in the UK and have only been to the USA once, I still get the joy of these models, it’s not all nostalgia

Thank you for posting this

52:45 I have this locomotive and power unit from Lionel! the horn and bell sounds are phenomenal! The only thing that I’m lacking in my collection are the matching passenger cars! Not only the Texas Special, 53:58 even the N&W Class A 2-6-6-4 no. 1218!

I personally miss Lionel headquarters in chesterfield Michigan perhaps they will come back in the future

I thank Tom Snyder and the production staff for sharing this excellent 2 part Lionel video. Thank God for Joshua Lionel Cohen, who invented attractive and pleasing Lionel trains, and that he used his astute business genius for us all to enjoy. I love Lionel Trains for many years. My fav is the handsome O Guage New York Central F3 Diesel Engine. Lionel Trains bring me back to my terrific nostalgia memories about my happy childhood times, and my wholesome family life growing up, especially helping me get through some difficult times in my life too. Lionel Trains are still fun and magical today. I attend Train shows with Lionel trains that are so much fun to attend. I hope Lionel LLC continues on with the new Company ownership with David, now headquartered in Concord, North Carolina for many more years and for future generations also!

at 55:43 I think thats the NYC 3005 mohawk behind the allegheny which when this video came out was brand spanking new too along with the articulateds

Great 2 part video! Enjoyed it!

I am so happy this was uploaded 0:21

The locomotive at 55:48 is the Pratt’s Hollow Phantom locomotive from 1998. You’ll hear the startup sounds and the “horn”.

What was that North American Lionel train picture poster at 10:44?

51:03 We will remember you.

That smoke was terribly aggravating to me if someone was using it at a show I had to get away from it or leave the show ! I wonder how many people got chemical pneumonia from it?

FBI WARNING: We really don't give a sh|t, grandpa.

With the locomotives Are like Golden ages

I miss watching Tom Snyder on TV.

I have my Lionel Texas Special train set from 1957 plus im collecting Lionel trains and Marx trains

It's kinda funny that the Pennsy Turbines puff as they smoke, since the puffing is caused by pistons that the turbine didn't have.

Love forever but the problem was always space. Thus European ie Marklin

Is New York central train

This is pre 9/11
