I do have some really old tmcc steam I got new never run and had no issues so not bashing Lionel i think their sounds are awesome.
If this was the engine you are considering then you made the right choice.
These came from Lionel without the ability to assign a unique engine ID. You would have had to use ID #1and since its no longer covered by a warranty and only Lionel can correct this you would be stuck.
No doom and gloom here, simply a fact.
