I will start off with the set that got me into Command Control...the 1996 NYC Geep Command Control set. A lightning stripe NYC postwar-style Geep with command control and RailSounds...with 4 postwar-style freight cars. The set included a Cab-1 remote.
What a value! It listed for $299.95. Yes, it lacks a lot of detail and yes, it is basic TMCC with only RailSounds 2....but it rounds and sounds today like it was just out of the box. in fact, I'll put the RailSounds on this engine against any more modern one! Drawbar pull is about a pound...that means 12-15 modern cars, no sweat. I like this engine so much that I got its brothers the NYC 2383 and Pennsy 2028.
