Hello everyone,
Well after year's of trying to find it and selling off two of my engine's and passenger car's,also adding more money.I Finally have it in my possession. The Lionel New York Central Empire State Express (Century Club) engine and passengers cars. I opened the boxes and for me it was Christmas, the engine is simply beautiful and I know some don't like passenger cars, but to me they are awesome. These items were sitting seal in there boxes since 2005-2006, and everything worked great. The only sad thing and I was expecting it, was the smoke unit worked for 10 minutes and then quit. So I opened the engine up and did some trouble shooting and found the regulator went bad. But this is fine with me, I'll just order a new one from Box Car Bill. Some details it has a fan driven smoke unit, two chuffs per revolution, flickering fire box, driver work lights, very nice crew talk. One other note about the engine, when I opened it up you can see it was well built. As for the passenger car's,the interior detail is fabulous and the exterior aluminum has a nice shine to it .
Thanks for looking,
Alex
