Thanks Jon,
No, I am only talking about the regular LionChief Plus. I am not really that interested in using the Remote control feature, or the extra module features etc. I like operating from my transformer throttle.
I am just wondering whether a LionChief Plus engine is so superior to the locos of the late Postward era, or the Pullmors, that it operates nicely when you put the throttle up to six or eight volts, and is therefore worth the extra $125 or so that it would cost over, say, a Sante Fe Alco 220.
