Reply to "Lionel 0-8-0 Switcher Lionchief"

Wow Pete.  If that's the case @John Ptak then I strongly suggest that you save your money.  Watch the auction sites for a 6-11247 or another Legacy 0-8-0 from the first batch.  It looks the same, but will be better than the train set loco in every way.  I think you'll be a lot happier in the long run!

Note: as I said in my previous post, avoid the second batch of Legacy 0-8-0s that rely on back-EMF for speed control.  Not sure of the product numbers, but they were roundly criticized as inferior runners when they were released.  Lionel took this criticism to heart and returned to using tach sensors after that.
