So today I got two items from 2001 and 2003. First one is the Lionel N&W Auxiliary Tender that was meant to compliment both the A 1218 TMCC Model and the Y3 and Y6b TMCC models.
Next, I have the Lionel N&W S1 #266 0-8-0 from 2003. Most people say it lacks the charm that the Pre-War 8976 and Postwar Switchers had but I like it cause the whistle and chugging sound are really phenomenal and authentic (the whistle sounds a bit "german" if you ask me).
Btw how rare are these two items?
