Great story and a beautiful engine!

Glad I found this one! Great story, and I’ve got two challengers on the roster now. One is actually that same Legacy LionMaster 3985. Love the sounds, especially the crew talk.

Beautiful Train I love it.

Awesome video! I have the legacy lionmaster UP challenger 3977 and I absolutely love it, it’s definitely one of my favorites! You get so many features in a compressed engine!

Great video Johnny, Lionmaster Challengers are such great value for what you get. Great whistle and road specific crew talk.

Great vid, would love to see more of these vids where you share the love of the hobby with others and having some of the veterans along with the younger generation sharing the same interest and knowledge along with seeing your layout grow with landscape and equipment. I must say, I purchase my first "expensive locomotive" HO scale @ Berwyn's Toy and Train when they were a lot smaller and located on Harlem before the new bigger store of off Ogden, of course I'm talking back around !993-94. Now I'm a lot older and started buying O Scale little by little and hopefully can get a layout going someday soon. Keep up the great vids and growth, I will continue to watch your vids as I have enjoy them for laughter and knowledge.

Great video and new addition to the collection! Sometimes you have to give up the old to get the new. Hope this one serves you well!

That’s awesome!

I really like the locomotive!! It sound great!

Awesome video I totally love the legacy lionmaster challenger. Thanks for the shout out.

Nice engine johnnie! Now you only need a 4014 big boy to complete the steam teams’s roster of the big 3 steam engines at cheyenne. Granted there’s 2 others there too (FEF-3 #838 and 2-10-2 #5511) but those aren’t on the active roster (even though 3985 is supposedly retired as well). But cool video and keep up the great work!

Another awesome new addition! ;)

Nice locomotive!!

First things first, how the heck do you get your hair to do that in the front? Heck when I had hair I couldn’t do that and man I had head full. LOL. Seriously, excellent video yet again Johnny. Love that engine. Sounds even better than it looks. I just bought the Lionel Legacy Santa Fe Gold bonnet set on a trip back east last week. Also we chatted about the Texas Special, I also got an AA unit that runs on command control while there too. So stoked about everything I bought. Can’t wait to get those and everything else I bought this coming Tuesday. Anyway, have a good one my friend. Keep up the good work. Tim

NGL TMCC Challengers are pretty good. I have a Railking MTH PS3 Challenger and I love it to death.

Nice challenger I have a lionmaster tmcc challenger 3983. I love the challenger but I like the challenger in the greyhound paint scheme the best.

I’m getting a challenger
