Hi all, great MPC pictures. Here is one I posted on "Front End Friday" but thought I would post it here as well. This is the MPC engine that (may have) been part of the start of entire electronic era. In 1973 it hosted the "electronic sound of steam" and headed the "Blue Streak" freight set. This engine is of the "Columbia" type and Lionel (MPC) used this type engine in various color schemes and numbers in numerous offerings. It proved to be a reliable runner with a light load at modest power, especially since MPC did NOT revive the troublesome "Scout" motor but instead gave this Columbia a good solid spur gear motor. Anyway here is the Lionel (MPC) #8303 Jersey Central 2-4-2 Columbia locomotive.

Best wishes all

Don
