    Headcannon: when PE 1225 started to loose its magic the PERR commissioned an Acela from the Polar Locomotive Works. The OG 1225 now numbered 1226 is used for freight work and still has a bit of its magic left.

    You made this set look really good compared to the catolog, hats off to Lionel and Amtrak brining this to life

    Very cool, Chris! Honestly, I like the more prototypical trains/paint schemes, but you make them fun to watch. I do like the Polar Express. Great video! And Congratulations on being featured in Classic Toy Trains!!! Bill B.

    This is a very very cool set. Provides a wonderful blend between typical and fantasy worlds. To echo another subscriber I did not realize that Lionel made this set. To be honest there is only one person that I am happy to present this amazing set

    Very cool and even cooler is that I received my Classic toy trains mag with your layout feature! As far as schemes, "A Train is a train!" Love them all!

    Can't get much cooler than that, Chris! Thanks for sharing - what a cool train! I'd love to have one if I had the curves that could accommodate it. I remember when I was in the National Capital Trackers guys racing them around the layout all the time.

    I like the fantasy paint schemes because they can give us a glimpse of "what if" plus I have the idea of my railroad is my world and I am only limited by my own imagination. Great video and congrats on the Classic Toy Trains article.

    Awesome Amtrak Polar Express Set Chris! I very unique set indeed! I have the original early 2000s Lionel Polar Express set with the engine, 2 tenders, and five passenger cars.

    WOW!! Awesome video Chris!!! Glad you were able to get this from Trainworld which has been my Lionel dealer for the past 7 years! Ken Sr. and Ken Jr. are great to do business with. I received the latest issue of Classic Toy Trains yesterday! Looking forward to reading the article about you! Keep making these videos! I enjoy watching them!

    What a great introduction and review of this unique model of the Polar Express Acela by Lionel, Chris! So many interesting options to enjoy. Personally, I prefer the origin version of the Polar Express with the Berkshire steam engine like the movie, but that's because I like steam. But the look of that special Acela speeding around the rails is stunning! Thanks for this.

    Hey Chris! Wow that sure is a high speed train! I love how smooth it looks running around at full speed, the steam engines at high speed always look like something bad is about to happen... 😆 I'm glad that you picked it up it looks great running around your layout. Thanks for shared Bud!
