whistle is wrong and sounds to low like wm734

[pianomanmaestro]

Im so jealous i want one!

[TachyonDriver]

Truly a beautiful model of a gorgeous steam engine! No wonder the price is quite high! I've only got a Bachmann HO gauge J over here in the UK , sadly not a DCC one...yet ;)

thanks!

@pickerel101 My little brother has an ho version of this made by bachman. Also when I was a kid growning up in the 90's I got to see the real J 611 it used to run through our town of Circleville Ohio taking railroad big shots tours. What does one of the ones like you have cost?

[fordsuckbigtime]

awesome train

[iinlovejameslafferty]

Isn't there a button where you can make the engine's chuff sound like it's working harder? Cool engine! I might just have to get me one of those. (Using my sister's account.)

[iinlovejameslafferty]

Wait, is this a lionel? Holy crap! I never knew that they had quillable whistles before! 8-}

[NorfolkAndWestern611]

It's an MTH....Lionel would NEVER have a locomotive as nice as this.

[iinlovejameslafferty]

They do SOME. Like type in "Lionel Legacy GS4".

[NorfolkAndWestern611]

I've seen that GS-4....and it's one of the most over-priced models I've ever seen.

[iinlovejameslafferty]

:-X I stand corrected! I like MTH's J, but Lionel's has a steam bell than like this swinging bell.

[usofmeric]

is that with the coal part

[pickerel101]

If you mean the real coal load then Yes.

[usofmeric]

how long is the engine its really cool i gotta make room on the turntable

[pickerel101]

Thanks for your comments! Its about 27" long. When you get it, you will be so suprised how awsome it is!

[usofmeric]

i getting one in march of 2010 cause gotta save up from b-day

[usofmeric]

cool how much for it

[pickerel101]

The engine by itself is $1,200, but if you get the cars, its $1300. Thanks!

[kabato48]

Very nice locomotive. We have the Williams version converted over to Lionel TMCC and a quiet motor. It's got great sound. Especially that steamboat whistle.

[bravosixxx]

Awesome!!!!

[pickerel101]

Thanks!!

[djzachispunk]

[pickerel101]

Its AWSOME!!

[ripjump12]

omg omg omg omg omg Best whistle ever to go on a model train

[pickerel101]

Thanks!

[PennsyPostwar671]

Wow, that's a beautiful engine.

How much did it cost?

[pickerel101]

Thanks!! The engine itself cost about $1,500, but i got 4 passanger cars with it so it was about $1,200. MTH Product# 20-3364-1

[PennsyPostwar671]

Eh, I'll probably have to go with the Railking one.

I'm trying to find a model of the J numbered 611. I would go ahead and buy the Railking model and change the number on it myself, but I'm afraid that I might mess it up...

[pickerel101]

Check this product # out. MTH # 30-1480-1. it is J#611!

[PennsyPostwar671]

Thanks, but almost $400 for a Railking? That seems a little too expensive for Railking...

[ohiosouthern]

How do u get the whistle 2 do that!!!

[pickerel101]

The J has a new feature called a quilling whistle. It is accessable through the dcs remote! Thanks!

[LionelKid16]

This is O scale right? Great sounding locomotive. the J's are my favorite

[pickerel101]

Yeah! Its awsome.
