I have quite a few of the early TMMC diesels, they seem to be quite bullet proof.

I think you're right.  Even though electronic in nature they seem to be pretty tough!

Still operate and have mine and still love it, it's a beast of the 90s generation!!

It is a work horse.  I think folks tend to overlook these gems because they don't have the latest wiz bang but they are good runners.

These models sound great! Love the start up and horn. One of my trucks is actually in the mail for repair (finally). The plastic axle gear won't stay put so it's getting a brass one.

If you couldn't tell I love the start up of this engine and the horn for its time is fantastic!  So far my gears are hanging in there.

this tooling needs to come back for the traditional lionchief line a santa fe or Fast Fright Service version would be on my must have list

I suspect Lionel has a more modern tooling but who knows.  It is a nice engine though so if they did manage to keep it I think it would be a winner.



Thanks everyone for watching!  This video has gotten the most watches in the shortest amount of time!
