The gold rush is an interesting piece of Lionel that I ever seen. It looks so nice.

I have a g scale in the basement and it's been down there for years . Might be time to restore

Looking forward to what’s to come in 2024

This is a beautiful little engine, I'm glad to see this Lionel lil beaut restored ^^

Great video and a really nice set. Glad to see this model saw a restoration rather than being cannibalized for parts. If you have the time, I did a video a few years back on restoring one of those cabooses, although mine was New York Central. It's curious because unlike the one you have, someone gutted my unit and converted it to run off track power, which I wasn't aware of until a viewer pointed it out. Only major issue is the bulb is too dim and barely shins through the windows. I also wanted to suggest, if you're looking for another Thomas character to make, why not try Victoria from the Railway Series? I made mine by converting a Clarabel and adding a few parts. I believe she's made a few appearances in my videos as well.

Nice! I reealy love these train videos you do!,but i have question, i saw a piece of HO track,Will you do any videos on HO trains ? It would be realy cool!

[@BenTenLife]

I would like to do HO videos but right now I don't have plans to do any.

[@GeohToy]

Always enjoyed your restorations, and this was great! I’m not too knowledgeable on Lionel so it was interesting to learn this was their first full sized model. Great job gathering it all and I can’t wait to see what comes next!

[@cynthiabowen6673]

Great information.

[@chasesrailwaylinesrr6447]

I have thought about purchasing 1 of these steam locomotives Because even though it may not be product typical its very cool looking, and I love old 1800s looking trains My favorite current old time tank engine being FSDL No.14,

[@thethomasthetank]

This is awesome dude! Always love it when you post🔥🔥🔥🔥 🫵😎👍

[@insomnn_5225]

Because of the gold rush express chassis I thought the next custom would be percy. But this works as well

[@msashurst1]

Great job! I hope 2024 is better.

Are you gonna do your dvds collection video just you did your vhs collection video last year.?

[@thomasfanthetrainman4152]

He’s making Toby the team engine after all he said he’s square like in the engine roll call song

[@user-zc3bc8ly6t]

I know that pill from somewhere.

[@toby.fan9198]

7:47 I think I know who it is, it’s Flora

[@Uncle_Percy]

It’s Philip bro

[@cec_oregon]

Flora isnt a he😊

[@BIG_RED_PRODUCTIONS_official]

Before I go on my rambling I edited my comment just to have the rambling which is why were you about to make Toby using this thing

[@SkarloeyandFriendsTheCom-ln5mb]

What is your next custom model

[@StationFilms12345]

I'm sorry to say you gave way too much
Kinda sad you didn't listen to me about percy but that's okay it's hard btw will you have a series with those models if you have enough engines to film with?

[@SirEdward_]

Can the bar on the cowcatcher be removed?

[@BenTenLife]

Yes it can

[@SirEdward_]

@@BenTenLife does it serve as a coupler? I’m pretty sure trains with cowcatchers had this in real life.

[@Benthetrainkid]

​@@SirEdward_ That cowcatcher bar was for the pin and link couplers

[@user-uh9dy4ok4u]

Make Lionel Henry

[@jacksonlovestrains6284]
