Over at Instragram, some of the comments include:
1) I wonder it if immediately derails, blames the locomotives used before this one, then catches fire each time its run?
2) Do the realistic motors whine incessantly?
3) Will at least 41% of the population say that being upside down and on fire, this thing "Still runs great"
4) Rather than a bell it just tweets.
5) It only runs on the Bone Spur.
6) You can have an Unemployment Line with everyone coughing on each other.
Where is Obama's train? Oh, they didn't make one. But they did for Shrub.
And it's fitting that the Trump Train is made by China.
If you want to buy a Real Train, the following manufacturers make better ones.

OP
Agree, Lionel has been garbage for a while - hence their poor marketing choice. Atlas is tops, IMO.

We generally go to the Edison, NJ Greenberg show. It's 3-4x the size of the York one.
