Lionel Lehigh Valley 8800 GP 9 Diesel Locomotive

Lionel Lehigh Valley 8800 GP 9 Diesel Locomotive, built in 1987 as part of the Black Diamond Set 6-11702. This is a solid built conventional locomotive with dual can motors, solid state electronic reverse unit, illuminated cab, headlights and number boards, beautiful zebra striped front end for visibility, along with two working knuckle couplers. No crew talk or horn sounds were added to this by Lionel because it was part of a starter set. This diesel can pull a long consist of cars. I have 12 lashed to it in this video but it can pull way more. 3:16 Please USE FULL SCREEN to view this video to get the most out of it. It's a little long at about six minutes but worth hanging in to the end to see a simulated night run 5:26 with my layout lit up along with the illuminated cab and caboose. Update, I'm now pulling 14 cars on my layout. Enjoy the video and don't forget to like and subscribe.
