I haven't been doing much on any of the forums I belong too. Been just posting photos and videos of what I have ran as of late on a couple Facebook groups I belonged too.
I picked up a Lionel 2926 restoration from Mario's Trains. There was a very interesting scenario that led up to getting his locomotive. I placed a pre-order for this locomotive in February and I never got a response from Mario's. I then pre-ordered three more locomotives, but canceled 2 later on and did receive emails for that. Shortly after I received an email saying they did not get any pre-orders for that version and asked if I was serious about this inquiry. After I replied to them saying that I was serious, they said we should be able to get you one. When they arrived, I was able to get mine. I think mine was the only restoration model they got, as they are only selling the warbonnet and blue goose.
Anyways, here are some photos and videos of it running. While I am upset about the marker lights not being in the right place and the wrong rods, this was not Lionel's fault. They just copied MTH's tooling, which I was wishing that Lionel would've fixed the tooling before producing it. But I can accept it as it is. I am happy Lionel got the 2-10-4 tooling too, I can run these together with my 3700 northerns
