Lionel Cardinal’s train set review

The Lionel 1926 Cardinals Train Set was offered in the 2021 Lionel Volume I “Big Book.” It’s a top-of-the-line Legacy outfit that features a recently cataloged 4-6-2 USRA Pacific steam locomotive, a combination car, two Pullman coaches, and an observation car. The base set gives you an 98-inch passenger train requiring O-54 curves.

Lionel offers an add-on Station Sounds diner as well as a two-car expansion pack which makes the prototypical seven-car Cardinal’s train.
