  Totally packed with information. Spot on when you say Williams is a great alternative. I just purchased a CN GP9 Williams By Bachman and it’s absolutely OUTSTANDING! I had to also rewatch this video and jot down notes. Your video is 2 years old but I am watching today 12/25/24 on Christmas Day! Outstanding video and very educational and useful content! THANK YOU MIKE👍❤️🙏🔥💪🇺🇸

  I think there's only one baby trainmaster that's going to be operational and it's also the last FM locomotive built

  Thanks for the deep dive. I'm a diese guy & love learning about the history & major variations of these classic models. I'm new to the post war Lionel scene and have fallen in love with the FA. Besides its looks, I'm impressed with how many road names it came in.

  Great video as always. I do have several Williams diesels in my collection, and I am very happy with them. I have heard that it is hard to get parts for them now.

  I am fortunate to have a 2344 NYC  A-B-A,  a 6220 that still rings the bell, and a magnificent 2321. The Trainmaster has pulled nearly 100 cars, mixed vintage and mpc. I could have added more but the mpc couplers kept popping open. I received the 2321 for Christmas, 1956.

  It was such a shame that Lionel use plastic for the cabs if they use metal for the whole locomotive it would work a whole lot better traction wise. I also have some old ones where the plastic has warped.
