This is excellent news. Thank you for posting this information. I would imagine the MTA licensing issue shouldn't interfere with the ability to provide an accurate and fully lettered Tichy unit from the factory.

Whew Hoo!

I promised Charlie I would name my next child after him, if it was a C-Liner!

Calling my wife right now!

Orders are rolling in. Thanks guys!

I just ordered TWO of them!

Thanks Chipset!

Just one correction needed in above description. A single A unit is not 48" long that was the size of the original ABA units. A single A unit is about 16" long. No O gauge layout would or should handle a single 48" engine.

MTH catalogs are full of over sites. Everyone should know this by now.

They are cookie cutter non specific general statements.

So the new LIRR offering turns out to be the U.S. Navy WWII Battleship diesel!

Will the MTH LIRR C liner have the distinctive B-C truck configuration like the prototype?

A C-Liner in the B-A1A configuration was 56.5 feet long (via Diesel Locomotive Cyclopedia by Bob Hayden). At 1:48 scale it would be a little over 14"

I saw on Charlie's site that the engine numbers were 2401, 2403, and 2404.

I am pretty sure #2401 is a B-A1A wheel configuration.

Just guessing that the LIRR number 2400's were the 2400 hp C-Liners, all of which were 5 axles. F-M never made a 2400 hp C-liner in B-B wheel configuration.

Interesting. If Charlie can special order a C-liner this may mean a reissue of C-liners either in this catalog or the spring of 2015. 

Hey Charlie, 

I just just ordered all three road numbers. They look like real beauties!

Interesting. If Charlie can special order a c-liner this may mean a reissue of c+liners either in this catalog or the spring of 2015.

Correct!

Link shows product disabled. All gone??

chipset, being that we are located in Long Island, NY, YES. The Long Island stuff is in VERY high demand.

With the FM C-Liner my favorite diesel cab, I just couldn't pass up the opportunity. I just ordered one 

Thanks TM Terry!

Charlie

Thanks for having special runs.

I have ordered all the different runs all so far.

And just order two c-liners.

Very wise to listen to your customers and pick tichy.

Thanks

Thanks Rogue! We value customers like you and try our best to listen. This diesel is our best seller out of the gate so far. I expect it will sell out. 

Just ordered mine! I have the MP15 and GP38 and they are terrific. Thanks for having these LIRR models made!
