Possibly not the small, inexpensive, clean, unpresuming amp lionel seeks...

Lionel would be a fool not to consider this important new amplifier.
I'm sure he's going to delight in your application of time and energy into tailoring this product search so precisely to his exacting requirements.

I saw that about a year ago.
Why on Earth would you want 600 Crate watts? That's like having sex with Rosie O'Donnell 1,400 times. I mean, sure it's a shit ton of sex. But I'd rather have one quality sex session than 1,400 flabby ones with Rosie.
Similarly, I'd rather have an Orange Tiny Terror.

But does it go up to 11?
I think the cops would start following me TO gigs, instead of just from, if I had that in the back of my Ranger pickup.

Keep in mind, that's ONLY the half-stack.
Me thinks that amp is built for the fella who's compensating for something . . . .

I was going to buy one of these to use in my den to practice playing Chet tunes on, but it just wouldn't fit in the trunk of my Saturn. I was really disappointed.

If I had roadies, I'd want one.
No way I'm gonna haul that thing on my own. I might need a big van too.
The head alone must weigh 100 pounds.

Someone at Crate actually had the idea to have a 600 W amp built... Then he/she managed to get it approved, then built. I think you can pop your eardrums with a quarter of its capacity. Insane...

Technically, 600 watts is "only twice as loud" as a 60-watt amp. You reach a point of diminishing returns pretty rapidly.
It's obviously just a promotional stunt, a trade show Stonehenge. Let me know if you ever see someone using one at a gig.
Didn't Fender make the MH billion-watter too?

Yeah, 600 watts is only twice as loug, but running it through a 16x12 will makes some heads explode.
Not from sheer volume, no no. Heads will explode due to "acute shitty noise poisoning."

If the ol' V-4 heads weighed 80lbs.- what on earth (pardon pun), do you think that monster weighs?

At least it's portable, and subtle.
