Lionelski posted:Not a big fan of MPC (but they kept Lionel alive and have great graphics), poor quality in the trucks, motors, etc. IMHO. Don't think you'll find MPC with magne-traction.
I do like the LTI offerings that had the look and feel of quality of post-war Lionel. My favorites include the remake of the yellow Alco and passenger car "Anniversary" set and the Southern Pacific Daylight steamer and Heavyweight cars. The multitude of "Bullion" cars has made me a collector of those
I'm not sure what today's definition of magnatraction or MPC is, but i have several engines made between 1970 and 1986 that will pick up and hold, in mid air, a piece of Lionel tubular track. As well as track pins, screws, small screwdrivers, etc.
Most all of the FARR sets, Fallen Flags sets, a lot of the large steam engines, I think the UP, NYC, SP, lll Central F3s, the SF, SP, CNW, JC, Virginian, Southern, and Wabash FMs, some of the GP-9's, and some of the electrics, GG-1s were made with magnatraction. Just a rough guess but i would estimate 25 plus i can think of.
The problem is they just keep running and give you nothing to write about on the forum.
