Reply to "Good Buy? Lionel Southern Crescent Legacy 6-11334 + 5 Passenger Cars"

The 11334 is a beautiful and well-made loco, for sure.  I suggest you look at a popular auction site to see what they are typically selling for.

IMO your CW80 is a little under-powered for the new Crescent.  For the best operating experience you should plan on getting a Powerhouse power supply, CAB-2 controller and Legacy base.  Probably you realize this, but the new one is a full scale model, and much, much larger than your 1977 version.  Regardless of what it might say in the catalog, the new passenger train is a premium product and will look best on wide O72 curves.  You probably have enough room for those under your tree but when it comes time to build a layout you might find the larger curves very limiting, unless you have a full basement, garage, or bonus room to devote to the trains.  So I would think hard if you really want to make the leap into "scale," or stick with traditionally-sized trains.  Hope this helps!
