Reply to "A LOOK AT THE INSIDE OF THE NEW NYC LIONEL 4-6-6T #1297"

I'm not familiar with Lionel's latest gearboxes, so I assumed that all the Legacy backdriveable gearboxes were the same. All of my steam except one locomotive is MTH Premier with the large worm/wormshaft gearbox that's pretty bullet proof. Any of the Legacy stuff I've seen first hand has had that little intermediate gear setup.

First gen legacy stuff does not have the extra gears i.e, the first run Legacy FEF,scale NKP, PM, and C&O berks, Legacy PRR M1b to name a few. The VL hudson doesn't have it either. They are all back driveable.

This "new" gearbox first appeared in the original Legacy K4 back in 2011. Since then its gotten more common, but there have been a few exceptions like the K Line tooled Legacy s1 berkshires, the Legacy ESE Hudson and the VL Niagara and likely a few others.
