CN DASH 9 pulls GATX TankTrain Tank Cars from Lionel

[Jaystrain08]

what kind of train is that at the beginning

[AndrewNeilFalconer]

@Jaystrain08 That diesel locomotive is a model of General Electric Transportation 6-Axle, 4400 horsepower, safety cabin equipped locomotive called a C44-9W or a DASH 9. The paint scheme is based on the original Canadian National CN paint scheme from the 1990's.

Thx

[LionelNation]

How much was the train??

Because I would love to have one!

[AndrewNeilFalconer]

@LionelNation The Lionel retail price for the Canadian National Tank Train set was $599.95 in 2002.

6-21790 | Price: $599.95

CN Tank Train Intermediate Car #75571

6-19638 | Price: $59.95

[LionelNation]

@AndrewNeilFalconer Do you like Cn because if you do I know someone is a ceo there?

[AndrewNeilFalconer]

@LionelNation I got all the CN locos and cars because the CN/GTW tracks are within two miles of where I live and the graphic design have clarity and action.

Could the CEO get Lionel and MTH the graphic information to help them finish the 1970 special promotion series of the Paper Box Car, Meat Refrigerator, and Apple insulated box car as well as the 1984 EXPO 86' train?

Wow nice scene and nice CN tank train set

[AndrewNeilFalconer]

@MrEngineergeorge Thanks. The CN TankTrain set is even more rare than I first thought.

[MrEngineergeorge]

@AndrewNeilFalconer Yes both the CN tank train and the SP oil can set are very rare.

[AndrewNeilFalconer]

@MrEngineergeorge I hope to fix the scenery as soon as I solve some locomotive and wiring issues.

[AndrewNeilFalconer]

@MrEngineergeorge I will add even more details, once I can figure out the track and wiring quirks with Atlas O Switches and MTH DCS.

[LanceCampeau]

WOW!.. Modeling isn't for me, but that looks really nice.

[AndrewNeilFalconer]

@LanceCampeau Thanks.

[UFO4X]

Was this a complete set from Lionel? I mean just the train set?

[AndrewNeilFalconer]

@UFO4X That was the complete 2002 CN TankTrain train set offered by LIONEL, plus 3 individual intermediate TankTrain Tank Cars.

[UFO4X]

this is nice man!

[AndrewNeilFalconer]

@UFO4X It is pretty nice. It looks very realistic and is durable enough for reasonable handling. The DASH 9 model has a lot of metal in it.

[Petemonster62]

Cool train & layout!!!

[AndrewNeilFalconer]

@Petemonster62 Thanks. Lionel did a great job on that CN TankTrain.

[aocruiser]

Man that tank train is awesome!!

[AndrewNeilFalconer]

@aocruiser They made it very authentic.

[cuzinitr]

That EOT device is a great touch! Nice work on building you're layout and filming this video!...Rich

[AndrewNeilFalconer]

@cuzinitr Thanks. Over the next few weeks I hope to make it look even better.

[TheLegendsoflionel]

That sure is one cool set!

[AndrewNeilFalconer]

@TheLegendsoflionel It is very realistic. The real version of this White CN TankTrain Set came through Vicksburg in March 2001, on their way to Canada. I like it a lot.
