Fredstrains, I have one on order thanks for the heads up where to get one. were on vacation till the 20th so had dealer delay shipment till were back home. so will find out when we return if anyone received one and how well liked it is. $oo
I received mine the other night, and received the Legacy v1.2 back from Ohio the next night. This is my first Legacy engine, and I am absolutely thrilled. First of all, I have been looking for this engine since the late '80's, but since that Lionel issue became an instant collectors item commanding what seemed to be astronomical prices, I have always wished for one.
It is a absolutely beautiful, faithful to the original. The paint job is perfect, it is highly detailed. The paint colors are perfect, making the orange on my Kline 21" heavyweights look like a dull Milwaukee Road orange. Everyone at Lionel should be proud of themselves for such an incredible model. I had difficulty getting the railsounds card to respond initially until I re-programmed it to another ENG # other than #1 as it came assigned...suddenly all the sounds were working.
While this may be my first Legacy engine, and it most certainly will not be my last, it may remain my favorite - dischler
