Lionel Sets from 1970-2000

We are now in the digital age. I was a PostWar kid. In between are 30 years of MPC, the Richard Kughn era and the early Lionel LLC. A lot of great sets were made that get ignored because of lack of scale detail and/or lack of sophisticated electonics. However, there are a lot of neat sets out there from the MPC era and the early RailSounds/TMCC period. I am lucky to have a few. I invite everyone to show theirs.

I will start off with the set that got me into Command Control...the 1996 NYC Geep Command Control set. A lightning stripe NYC postwar-style Geep with command control and RailSounds...with 4 postwar-style freight cars. The set included a Cab-1 remote.







What a value! It listed for $299.95. Yes, it lacks a lot of detail and yes, it is basic TMCC with only RailSounds 2....but it rounds and sounds today like it was just out of the box. in fact, I'll put the RailSounds on this engine against any more modern one! Drawbar pull is about a pound...that means 12-15 modern cars, no sweat. I like this engine so much that I got its brothers the NYC 2383 and Pennsy 2028.
