The Chessie Steam Special is a favorite of mine from the MPC era. Another breakaway color scheme of the era from the typical black steam locomotives.
At the time, the Electronic Whistle was amazing to me. Nothing like today’s digital realism, but I still appreciate it from a nostalgic standpoint.

My favorite set from MPC. Unlike PW and most Lionel trains that followed made countless times, those first colorful sets, (Crescent, Blue Comet, Alton, Chessie and Wabash) are 40+ years old, produced only once by Lionel and made in America. Age, condition and rarity determines value. I'd like to hear how many of those sets folks think are still new in the original box, 5%, 25% 50%? I believe its less then what most folks realize.
