They're both great but if we're going be " picky".

The TMCC version has only 2 chuffs and puffs per revolution while the Legacy version has the more accurate 4 per rev.

If it bothers you, the Superchuffer Marty mentioned will fix that.

The red color is accurate. There is no whistle steam (of course).

Lionels first run of Legacy J's had the correct colored stripe. It also didn't line up between the loco and tender. This was resolved adding washers under the cab. It did not have whistle steam either

The more recent one. The red looked more bright and less accurate. The stripe was straight however ,and the engine has whistle steam.

Maybe it's just my good luck, but I have never been disappointed in a nos TMCC locomotive. Additionally, IMO many of the Legacy sounds have become more common/ generic across the line.

Ultimately, it's up to you. Otherwise you could check out some videos of each searching youtube.

I personally have become more fond of TMCC steamers after some disappointing Legacy pre-orders. As good as Legacy sound is. The old TMCC steamers are no slouches and many of the sounds are more unique.

I think you sold me on the TMCC. Love that J-Class
