Pete, is there any particular time period for which I should be looking at William engines? Are we talking 70s and 80s, or are we talking about more recent models.
Thanks,

Like Wild Mary, I think the best ones were made in the early 2000s before Bachman took over. Usually come in mostly silver boxes and won't say Bachmann. These will have two flywheel equiped can motors with the exception of the PW style 44 tonners and have True Blast II if mentioned. Early ones in the orange or Black and white boxes may be OK but have no flywheels and maybe only a horn if any sound. I think they made just about every Lionel paint scheme plus others Lionel never did. Williams called the replicas their Golden Memories series.
