No TMCC in this version. This is the original City of Denver streamliner set. #299W, c1936-39. Among the early diesel streamliner sets that had the unique feature of an air whistle–completely incorrect, but they're toys right? I got this set at a show to fix up as "runner" as I had a near unrun version sitting on a display shelf, but after I took my time cleaning and bringing back to life, I discovered I liked it better than the "shelf queen" which I then sold off.
If you're into running modern stuff, I think Lionel, or perhaps MTH/Lionel, produced a version in the last 10 years with TMCC and all of that.
I do like those streamliners!
