Tom Morris posted:How many different versions of "The Crescent Limited" do you have? While doing a recent inventory, I realized I have 5 versions.
So, what do you have?
Tom,
Great photos of all you Crescent Limited Engines and Passenger Cars. Crescent Limited is my favorite engine as I have 6 Crescent Limited Engines.
1. My first Crescent Limited engine was Lionel 6-8702 with matching passenger cars. I received this set on Christmas morning when I was about 10 years old.
2. My next Crescent Limited engine, I received for Christmas about 25 years later, MTH RailKing ProtoSound 1, 30-1125-1
3. I was impressed with smoke output of the MTH RailKing version, so I needed to get the MTH Premier ProtoSound 2 version. 20-3102-1
4. Then I got the Lionel Legacy with whistle smoke cataloged in 2012.
5. I then got the MTH Premier ProtoSound 3, Queen & Crescent Limited, 20-3465-1, in order to double head them with my MTH Premier ProtoSound 2 engine.
6 This past Christmas I got the New Lionel Legacy with whistle smoke in the black pain scheme.
I have 4 Set's of Crescent Limited Passenger Car Sets. Lionel 0'27 set that matches my 6-8702 Crescent Limited engine.
