Nothing like 3rd Rails brass version. The CCII engine is very solid. Give it 4 chuffs and it would be near the equal of a Legacy engine.
That whistle steam will cost you a grand more than the CCII engine.

Sounds like the Dreyfuss is the choice by popularity. I'm a little surprised since MTH did one a while ago. That is exactly why Lionel will do the Dreyfuss. I for one have struggled with the MTH Premier. I would gladly do a fire sale on it if Lionel were to release one in VL.
