I have the one where the batteries are put in the tender and it’s plugged into the locomotive. But the engine’s had its day, and I’m getting a replacement.
I remember back in 2011 Lionel made a Chesapeake and Ohio baby Berkshire with a steam whistle! I had no clue there was a poler express version, great video!!?
That was a real treat, Sid! I got the original Polar Express rtr set and was disappointed that the Berkshire didn't have a bell sound. I guess you were supposed to use the big jingle bell instead. I didn't know that the Whistle Steam version had come out with a train bell! What an extra surprise to see a standard gauge tinplate running around the tree, too. It had a really shimmery look under the tree with the lights shining off of it. Looked great: a touch of the old days. Thanks, Sid!
That whistle is actually pretty legit on that steamer. They made a Great Northern conventional set that had whistle steam too, was always something I wanted to pick up. Great video and running session Sid.
Never knew this engine existed, wish they would have put the whistle steam on the berk 2.0. Also I was wondering if you work on anyone's engines or a select few? Our local shop no longer does repairs and with MTH changing they said they can't send them out either. Just wondering if you will or can point me to someone who will. Thanks for any help
Me gusta mucho el sonido del tren Polar Express que mostraste! Además de eso me gustaría que Lionel pudiera haber hecho la voces del ingeniero y conductor de la película Polar Express
This is a cool video! My wife and I bought the Battery Operated Lionel Polar Express at Costco 4 years ago. Has done Christmas Tree Duty for 3 Christmas. Our Grandson loves it!
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas Sid! Thank you for the wonderful content throughout this year! Excited to see what’s next! Keep up the great work my friend!
Nice video Sid - I actually bought this engine back in 2013 - had it under the tree for the last 10 Xmas - never used the smoke because my wife can’t stand the smell. Finally this year I bought scented “wood stove” smoke - only to discover that my steam whistle does not work. The locomotive sounds great and smokes up a storm from the stack and the chest but no whistle steam - any clues to why this is happening? Thanks
i gone thru every site i could find and it's just not there..that Locomotive with the whistle on the middle..instead of front END...maybe someelse could help me?
Otra cosa que hubiera sido genial, es que Lionel haya lanzado el VAGÓN DE CHOCOLATE con el sonido de la película cuando sale Tom Hanks y hace el anuncio a los pasajeros: your atention please..y salen todos los mozos a repartir las tazas con chocolate! Hibiera sido espectacular!!! PORQUE NO SE LES ocurrió lanzar ese carro de chocolate??
Polar express with the tom hanks movie dialog is so much better....in a whole other league. Why spennd these dollars and not get the way better engine?

Thanks Matt. Yeah I remember the GN one with the smoke deflectors. Definitely a cool model from a past era at Lionel.
I literally had no idea that even existed
Happy New Year!!!
It has the same whistle as the Lionel Lionmaster Pennsylvania T1 Duplex
I wish Lionel would do a LionChief Polar Express with whistle steam

Hi Sid awesome presentation I got to add this one to my collection, can you please provide me with the item number. Thanks

Hey Sid -- what was the catalog number on that 2004 edition??
that junior Bershier steam polar express u mentioned, what is the model # or what does the box look like
Does the polar steam espress come in a complete set or just the locomotive?
Hi bro, am I able to use the new tender on the 2004 version? Merry Christmas!
Yes
Can you still buy a train with the steam whistle?
Can the early non steam whistle PE Berk be converted to the steam whistle version? I see Lionel has a part # for it. SKU: cs-691PCB107B-p
I have the original as well and same as yours the whistle broke off. Anyway to replace it?
Do you know the model number of the whistle steam polar express ?
Where Can I Find One Of Them
I have a 2-8-2 one, which scale is it?
What's the product number?
Nice, what's the number? I might shop or trade for one.
6-18754
