And this is where some of us have gone, …..you mention the older TMCC equipment, …we find this stuff nearly bulletproof, very well made, and easily (and sometimes inexpensively) upgraded,…..steam locomotives from both mfr.’s from around the turn of the last century, are extremely robust as far as hardware is concerned,….the vast majority of the time, we can upgrade a TMCC locomotive to more modern cruise, smoke, and update the chuffs, and still never reach what today’s locomotives cost!…even with purchasing the engine!!…..I’ll happily surrender whistle steam for heavy duty construction, 4 chuffs, good sounds, & fan smoke….all in a locomotive I can run the dog snot out of, and never wonder or worry,….

I have to agree. Not everything is all bells and whistles. You can't beat solid construction.
