OK, I will continue the UP theme. I just got my LionMaster Challenger back from having smoke fan replaced. Hooked it up to the City of Portland for a break-in run. Quickie video with available light. Hope I can get it in the thread this time.

I have that Veranda and it has never been on the tracks. When Lionel first announced this thing, it was supposed to run on O54 and I was planning on O72 on my layout. They shipped it for O72 and I was compelled to build O54. Shelf Queen. Sadly.

George, your Veranda is a very large but very cool locomotive and the train is impressive.
I noticed the Cleveland Indians radio billboard. Are you an Indians fan? I ask because, as a native Pennsylvanian I would expect you to be a Phillies fan, or maybe a Pirates fan.

Laz, it was first announced in a special catalog that was just for the Veranda. It was a long time to get to market, but worth the wait.

Thanks Joe. The articulated sounds are fantastic; really cool at slow speeds. I’ll see if I can find another video.

OK Joe. Found the video of the Challenger starting up. Legacy roll for a few beats then Medium Speed on the CAB-2. If you have an articulated engine, you want articulated sounds. This engine gots. |

Thanks for the video, Forrest. The Challenger sounds great. You can really hear the sounds when it's running slow.

COUNTRY JOE,
Thank for the kudos! Yes long time TRIBE FAN. Since about ‘62, had relatives that lived in Cleveland and they were fans and were always talking about the TRIBE when I was a kid so I started sticking for them. We came close a few times but lost to BRIANS Braves in 97, and lost to the Cubs where the manager of the Cubs was my teammate in HS football team JOE MADDON, but like I say all the time “wait til next year”.

...but like I say all the time “wait til next year”.George, that was the Brooklyn Dodger fan's chant from the first World Series until their one and only World Championship in 1955.  It is so cool that you were a teammate of Joe Maddon.
